I won't embarrass myself with my terrible written french (grammar was never my thing)
but it's so true that french is so wonderfully pleasing to hear.
a while back I'd write a lot in portuguese, so melodic and clean cut
but french is an area I've yet to explore.
anyway, just a note to say I love the franglais poems (even if this doesn't really count as one).
--goldyfish
I guess Franglais is fine in parts of Canada etc where people know both languages. I write my poems in my head (the draft), so when I scribble them down I usually do not change the language of the phrase or line or sentence as it popped up in my brain. This is the reason for my (ab)using
German, English or French.
cheers
