HOW SNOW INSPIRED BRENDA TO WRITE A BEAUTIFUL POEM IN FRENCH

Snow is inspiring many of us to meditate and lose ourselves in observing nature.

Brenda started writing a short text for her homework during our private session, and she ended up creating a poem.

To her surprise and mine.

This is the result of relaxing into the absorption of French, allowing it to become a part of your lifestyle.

Here is her poem for your enjoyment.

I usually write a few paragraphs in French for my weekly French coaching class with Llyane.

I sat down by the window with a cup of tea, pen and paper and instead of the usual accounting of something that happened that week, I started to write about the snow coming down.

That evening, as Llyane coached me through some of the errors, the paragraphs somehow became this poem.

A big « merci » to Llyane for all her encouragement and for making my French studies so interesting and fun.

La neige tombe

Aujourd’hui, il y a une tempête de neige.
La neige tombe sans aucun vent
Dans de gros flocons
Qui couvrent le sol, comme une couverture blanche.

Et collent aux branches des arbres,
Pendant que les cèdres et les pins portent des manteaux de neige.

C’est tranquille –
Si calme –
Il n’y a pas de bruit.

La maison où je me détends est très tranquille.
Il y a beaucoup de fenêtres.
Donc, je m’assieds
Avec une tasse de thé
Et je regarde la neige tomber.

Les heures passent.
Le matin devient l’après-midi.
L’après-midi devient le soir.
