I'll be the first to admit i dont actually speak french! All french in this poem can be blamed on my boyfriend who helped and actually takes french as a subject. :)

Bonne nuit Sir.
Speak French to me
whisper Softly au contraire
Just to me just to please.
the language of amour
becomes a code
of dancers, berets
garlic cloves.
Hold me close just to say,
Je serai poète et toi poésie,
and I will be forever yours
For you’re the one J’adore.

Speak French to me?

All critcism welcome grammar especially! My Weakness haha

This is really good fun to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it. H

ps, I'd suggest putting a comma in L4 after me

Makes me want to respond in French, but, nous regrettons, I cannot. Thankfully the humor in this piece survives my lack of élégance.

Very enjoyable.

Thankyou :)

It always pleases me when people enjoy my poetry and call it fun. Also thanks for the advise on the comma now reading through I can see a few places it needs tweaking (capital letters hate me it seems)

Tar again :D
