Attention all bilingual poets:
As a special prompt, or request, I’d like to try something new on refinegodliness. Seeing as the vast majority of poetry on tumblr is in English, I would like to devote one day to posting any other language you can write in. It’s called Mother Tongue Monday, but really it’s just about non-English poetry (I just like the way Mother Tongue Monday sounds). So if English is your native tongue, you can still partake if you write in another language.
This special prompt / request has no deadline, I’ll collect every poem that is written in any other language than English and that is tagged #mtmonday, until I have enough to fill refinegodliness’ queue for a random Monday. I’ll leave it to you to decide if you want to add the English translation to your poem. It might be a nice gesture, as Google Translate is far from flawless.
I’m looking forward to this! Hope you will join if you can!
Kind regards,
Mark
PS: be sure to use #mtmonday as one of the first five tags accompanying your poem, otherwise it might not show up in tumblr’s tag search. If I’ve hearted it (definegodliness is my main blog so that will show up in your notifications), I’ve seen it and have added it to my drafts.
