FYI - Computer Down

Just a note to let everyone know that my computer has been down since just after my last post.  It is in for repair. I also bought a new computer but it is taking the geek squad a while to load the software. I hope to be up and running again sometime next week. 

On an up note, I have put the finishing touches (with some help from my parents and cousin) onto the translations into Czech that I have been working on (3 more poems).  Now to start translating a few more - expanding my Czech vocabulary in the process and stretching my brain.

English/Czech - Re-Entry/Návrat

This week's English/Czech posting is the 4th poem inspired by the abstract art of Ivan Pavlíček. I would love your comments on either version of this poem.



Re-Entry

Blue turns to
Violet
As absence
Slowly fades
And my heart
Begins to
Burst into
Flaming red

Návrat

Modrá se mění
do fialova
Když nepřítomnost
pomalu vadne
A moje srdce
začíná planout
žhavou červenou
