Most of the poems I know are in German :(
Here is one of my favorites, and my best attempt at a translation:
Aufruf zur Bescheidenheit
Wie nun mal die Dinge liegen
und auch wenn es uns missfällt:
Menschen sind wie Eintagsfliegen
an den Fenstern dieser Welt
Unterschiede sind fast keine
und was wär auch schon dabei
nur: die Fliege hat hat sechs Beine
und der Mensch hat höchstens zwei
-Erich Kästner
|
A call for humility
As the things are as they are
even if it's not to our liking:
men are just like mayflies
on the windows of this world
Differences are almost none
and what of it if there were
just: the mayfly has six legs
and men no more than two
-Erich Kästner
|
(I didn't even attempt to keep the rhymes or rhyme scheme, that's not within my abbilities)

Oops!
Last time I commented I said I had a spring cleaning thing in my forum signature, but I realized it was actually a "random raffle" badge. I fixed it now, unless the random raffle badge still would have counted..?

The main badges count too, so use whichever you prefer!

The red rose whispers of passion,
And the white rose breathes of love;
O, the red rose is a falcon,
And the white rose is a dove.
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal tips;
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips.

Most people know how prize selection works from other raffles, but just in case... If you are picked third, please list your top three choices (in case the people in front of you pick what you wanted). If you are picked eighth, list your top eight choices in order of preference.
[i]Note: If there are only a few dragons that you really like (or you don't want a dragon), that's okay! Just let me know. We have some beautiful dragons here, and I would like to see them go to good homes.[/i]
