cascades d’eau
inondés de souvenirs
d’un temps lointain
même l’eau n’apaise plus
ces chutes moqueurs

***

waterfalls
flooded with memories
a time long ago
even water does not soothe
those mocking falls

A little bit about moi: I am a mom, a nana, a sister, a woman, a friend, a human being…a youth counsellor, Family Life Educator. I have been working in the helping profession for over 25 years and volunteered in various capacities from youths to seniors. Tournesol is my nom de plume for haiku and other Japanese form poetry here at Tournesoldansunjardin https://cheryllynnroberts.wordpress.com I hope you enjoy reading through my daily waka. I also have another blog "Stop the Stigma" where I may stand on my soapbox now and then and hope it will become a place to drop in and share or comment on issues important to you. In that vein this could be a great way to learn from each other. http://stigmahursteveryone.wordpress.com

  1. Wow! French is one of my favourite languages – though I have never been fluent, I can pick up on certain words. Seeing the English translation, just shows how beautiful French is. I am a big fan of Dalida…and love her lyrics too. This piece of poetry is beautiful. Thank you for your inspiration.

      1. Thank you so much! I love the Paroles, Paroles song from dear Dalida…it is on the CD I have of hers. I have visited Paris several times…I have been to Dalida Place where she resided…and her grave. It’s great to meet someone who knows of her too 🙂

      3. Wow, you see I didn’t know the name of the guy until now, so thank you for the inspiration 🙂 I’m so glad Dalida still has a strong fanbase…her songs touch the heart.
