Jardin d’hiver…

Poetry in French and English.

La neige, aux sourires du soleil chante, rigole et pleur en retrouvant son amour la terre qui s’effondre à son tour, et libère ce tapis de vie sous la caresse fragile de nos pieds.

The snow, with the smiles of the sun sings, laughs and cries finding her love the earth who collapses in turn and frees this carpet of life under the fragile caress of our feet.

Author’s note: I am lucky to be working with Jessica Tefenkgi Ruelle on her upcoming book on mindfulness and language learning.

She had a writing prompt for French learners that I found so delicious that after commenting on her chapter, I needed to give it a try.

I have Jessica’s permission to share my poem (without spoiling her book).

If you are interested in mindful language learning and in getting to know yourself better… (in French!), you can join Jessica’s newsletter and download her Guide for Mindful French Learners.

Thanks for reading!
