Highhat, Bliss

"...carcass hull..."
a good discription of me when I'm lying in the sand staring at the "...ethereal clouds..."

Highhat | March 6, 2011 - 19:32

Hi ScoZen
you see in Danish carcass and hull are one and the same word so I put both in for good measure. Originally I wrote it in danish. Thank you for your lovely comment.

Hi Pia, Think you're so clever to be able to write in both Danish and English. Simple translation or dictation/ coypying is one thing, but to actually use imagination and have to transpose it from one language to another must be difficult.

This poem brought back some lovely memories of a holiday taken on Bork Havven (I think that's how it's spelled) It's a little fishing village near ..damn it's gone the place with the big reptile centre? Nope gone. Anyway it was a lovely holiday and a sweet poem. I think I saw that grizzled old fisherman.

Thank you Sooz for the praise- I don't deserve it- not when it comes to mixing my english and danish. It really is difficult at times buhu.
I am not sure which reptile centre you are talking about? But we have a lot of fishermen in Denmark and they all seem a bit grizzled. Ha ha we have a lot of farmers as well and they are always complaining- ha except those who farm organically- they seem pretty satisfied but I think that sort of work must be quite a merit- it seems so. . .perfect. I am rambling
thanks for your comment
