Cerd Trist
Disgleirest ti fel yr hael
gwyn-twym
ond wedyn
diflas
coch
fel tân.
Nawr, rwyt ti
llywd,
du,
oer - fel yr ulw
dw i taflu rhywbeth.
My first attempt at a poem in Welsh. Probably makes no sense at all, but at least I've had a go.

Great work! Now you just have to read it out on an audioblog! (See Lynn's Sprigs and LizElayne's blog ...)
I have been enjoying reading the latest Lampleter updates - very interesting! I din't know druids were real! I'm glad you are now replete with Welsh ... I'm sure wonderful things will result from the experience.
Thanks CB. Sadly, I tried reading it out to my father today and he couldn't understand a word as I mutliated (rather than mutated) the language. It's a great shame because it is rather beautiful. I need more practice.
Well it reads very beautifully even though I can't understand it ;-).
Wonder what Skint Writer would make of it?
It looks like it would sound beautiful :) What does it say?
Thanks Maxine and Tammy. It is a variation on an earlier poem I wrote in English. This is what I HOPE it means.
You shone like the sun
white-hot
but then
dull (or miserably)
red
like fire.
Now, you are
grey,
black,
cold - like the ashes
I throw away.
