Zadni Kralj Hrvatske-Peter

The name pretty much sums it up. But then, I want peoples take on it. (Has anyone heard of the country mentioned, by-the-way? )

Peter Svacic
On Peter's Mount,
Svacic had passed:
Croatia's crowned,
And her valiant last.


(In Croatian; a little tid-bit, and appropriate, as it's patriotic)

Petar Svacic
Na Petrovu Goru,
Svacic je pao:
Kralj Hrvatske,
I njezin hrabar zadnji.

(note-the c's in Svacic are to be pronounced 'ch' as in 'church')

Okay that poem in another langauge made my day.

Made your day?

Exotic poem. It’s short and sweet.

I am noticing a pattern here....it seems my poems have a tendency, and I quote, of being 'short and sweet'. There's nothing bad about that, just it seems to follow most of my poems...(should I write longer ones, thus making them 'long and sweet'?)

And yes, King Peter was a real person, and ruled a real country by the name of Croatia.

Poetry is a candle, and prose is a fire in the hearth. We do not need a candle to be bright if we have many. Short and sweet is good, if the poem is good. Leave it be. Don't force your work.

Oh I know, but its just that I get the same comment all the time ...Oh I gues I can't complain can I?

'Chottor modhe bhalo'(Umm.. Erethror,does that comment now sound different. .Just not to confuse you,I would better write the translation of what I wrote in my language,it means "SHORT AND SWEET")

Hahaha!

It's inescapable! But thanks. I'm currently working on a longer poem though. (I have a long one, it's I think under this section, it's called Gandalf and the Balrog)
