Une larme avec pencher la tete:
Manipulation magnifique.
Pleusiers des larmes verse dans un mouchoir,
Une peine domine resolument.
Mais, plus de ceux-la que
en le nuit noir seulement,
On-t-a pleure a chaudes larmes
dans un oreiller trempe,
C'est une manifestation
de desespoir profond desespare.
Translation
Teardrops
One tear, with slight droop of head:
masterful manipulation.
Several drops shed into a handkerchief,
a sorrow staunchly controlled.
But, more than those into a black lonely night,
Hot tears sobbed into a drenched pillow,
This is the manifestation of desparate deep despair.

this is an interesting... well scribed, and more than anything, powerful write... thank you for providing the translation, as it helped clear up the few words that I did not understand

Tres tragique. I was impressed with your ability to show the transition through form from one tear becoming a few then on to become uncontrollable sobs. The flow of this is delicate, perfect, even in the French. Ton poeme est une plaisir veritable!
