Thanks Devika and Ralf:

a four liner:

man in long skirt
got a sunstroke --
it'd were a shadow
under the green leaves

RBroeker said...

Hmm naughty again. Yes. And wrong in spelling. I tried to write "these leaves are ... naked".

;-)

Best wishes
Ralf

Ralf:
I think this "misspelling" leaf - leaves -> leafs is quite common already. So why not admit it ?-)

Ps. Don't show this comment to anybody English teacher!

There's something to it that I want to share...

I teach English when someone needs it...and then when I look at my first draft of writings..I can't help laughing at the types of errors I make! :)

when mind works fast, its usual for errors in language, I think...

one of my teachers -- she taught maths for graduates and was not very comfortable with arithmetics...she would keep going wrong and her excuse is..If a post-graduate would sit in a primary school, its only natural to make mistakes :)

Devika:

When I was sometimes in a trouble somewhere abroad, and nobody talk any Finnish, I learned that it's better to try say something, never mind the grammar?

It's very important that people all over this globe are trying to communicate with each others?

When in school I didn't manage in Finnish grammar! Later published many books, but it's another story.

Angelika: Thanks again!

Oh yes, I'm loving it, Tikkis....couldn't imagine doing it a year ago...and thank blogger for the chance! :)
