english tongue -- wigglish
a snake a fish
the grammar-bird flying over
the boundless melody
of liquid phrases

the hungry snake
the slippery fish
the bird of steel
demands the grain the pearls the words

english -- the rarefied mountain air
english -- a rock on my chest

I agree...

with Tris, Senna. I've had many Polish friends before, and from the sound of their language I find it amazing when they master English. Tho from the sounds of Polish you'd think it wouls be easier! Nice work here; very short and meaningful. Thanks,

Boo

I can't believe .....

I'm the first to comment. I really loved this minimalist approach to the English language as heard by the foreign ear.
