Prolet

In an imperfect world, take a peek through the curtains into mine.......

Prolet

 

You may well call it Spring

Here in my head though

I can not find

Despite the very love of trying 

I assure you

The perfect word 

For so much beauty and the

Newness of it blinding.....

 

You may call it Spring

Here in my heart though

There is a certain freedom

timeless....

Though I would gladly share

and truly so

This place and time

This transient now and here

Which we call Prolet....

 

 

Author's Note

Prolet is the Bulgarian word for Spring, I think it trips of the tongue quite nicely in a little happy dance all of its own..... Wot do you reckon......

Prolet is a new word for me. It's good to use words from another language in your writing. I have on occasions used a little French or Latin in mine, because some of their words seem more appropriate to encompass the intended meaning. Your beautiful lines explain to the reader exactly what that word means to you. It is not merely a season, but captures all the emotions, uplifting, timeless freedom, bursting with new life, an injection of zest. No wonder you are looking forward to your holiday so much. I have never visited Bulgaria. Maybe I should Neville.

Hello Chris.. yes it is such a luverly word innit.. thank you so much for checking in... Prolet in Bulgaria is simply amazing. as it is anywhere I s'pose but just a tad special... I do so hope you will see for yourself one day... I have been thinking for a couple of years about inviting a small group of poets to join me there.. either fly out with me or join me in Sofia and then journey over to my place... so if you and up to a handful of poets are interested, send me a private message and I will see what we can be arranged .. there is a photo of the villa nevajilla on my photos page...

What an opportunity Neville. Somehow I think you may just find out that you've got more friends than you thought. What an idea.

[Neville]

Do ya reckon our Chris, we will have to see.. no one took me up on the offer last year...

[Chris Shaw]

Wot, no takers Neville? There was me thinking you'd got top marketing skills:)

[Neville]

Oh well let's wait and see.. there is always next year, maybe...

Prolet sounds like a pretty lady's name. Polet! It does a nice happy dance in deed. ( I wouldn't be surprised if someone already gave that name to a beautiful baby girl). Neville, your love of Homelands is brimming in your poetry!

[Neville]

Hey Mrudula, what can I say except that I agree with you entirely, it is such a pretty name and so befitting of a little girl or woman.... I gave my daughter a middle name of Shorin which was taken from the Shaolin Temple..... Almost forgot to say thanks so much for dropping in again..... N

[Mrudula Rani]

You have wonderful taste in picking names !Shorin sounds fabulous!

[Neville]

She does not like it.......

I love it too! I always find some words written or spoken in another language than English have a certain charm, I titled some of my poems with French titles though my French is extremely poor lol, some languages are musical ones, those I do love, they have real enchanting allure, thank You for introducing us for a magic word.

Hey Light, I am so pleased, thrilled in fact... Can you believe so many people have contacted me privately here to find out more about my much loved Bulgaria..........Neville

[Stella Armour]

Pretty Prolet, it is rather perfect isn't it ... new beginnings; starting afresh means hope and that it in itself lightens anyone's heart :)

[Neville]

Pretty it is dear Stella and believe me... I am truly grateful for you checking in.... I am also amazed by the private mails I am getting to find more about Bulgaria.... even more surprised that none of them are from Bulgaria.....
