Re: Poetry (in four languages)

Quote:
and stormay, if you would write a poem in a different language, wouldnt you agree that, the writer did some hard work? (especially with "made-up, incomplete languages")
The amount of work has nothing to do with the quality of the poem and since these made up, largely incomplete languages are only spoken by a handful, the poems wouln't even be understood by normal people, thereby wasting all the work. And personally, I'd rather read a good poem in one language than a half-lame one in four.

Think about it... "Are you sleeping, brother John?" - song exists in way too many languages already, counting in spanish, swedish, french, german, finnish and russian. Does the language fact make the song ultra-great?
