"On a day.
On a cold day.
On a land.
On a snowy land.
Keep an eye.
Keep an eagle eye.
Call a name.
Call a dear name.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Far away..."

(Kurama)

"This morning shook my home,
from whole prospects of peace at hand. 
This morning struck me,
shattering sense of safety at all.
This morning pained Lviv,
to decide the only move to fight at once.
This morning changed land,
just before to focus in Donbas."

(Kurama)

 

"For a moment of life,
For a moment of death,
A poet left already love for home.
For a moment of peace,
For a moment of fight,
A poet left already Lviv for Luhansk.
For a moment of smile,
For a moment of sigh,
A poet left already love for home."
(Kurama)

 

"Bleeding. Freeing.
Willing. Mariupol.
Homeland.
Port town.
Remain.
The only one for me.
Bleeding. Freeing.
Shielding. Mariupol..."

"Aware of a poet?
Aware of a poet?
A poet of Cossack broods over the land.
Not noting a bullet.
Not noting a bullet.
You see a poet of Cossack in Borodyanka."

"In a glorious country
Hard working people
Flourish happily
Ever after.
Their houses are decorated
With flowers and gardens.
In the spickandspan homes
Songs to the Sun are sang..."

"Red-brick and stone walls.
Blue sky and a white cloud.
The glory of the heritage.
Survived two world wars.
Black smoke poured out.
Red flames blazed up.
Through a targeted shelling.
In the school of hard knocks..."

(Kurama)

 

 

"... Я бажаю залишити те, що
Значно краще
Від слів
І звуків.
Пошукайте мене
У людях, що любила їх
До розлуки..."

"My sister Laura's bigger than me
And lifts me up quite easily.
I can't lift her, I've tried and tried;
She must have something heavy inside."

"My gardens sweet, enclosed with walles strong,
Embanked with benches to sytt and take my rest
The Knotts so enknotted, it cannot be exprest,
With arbours and alys so plesaunt and so dulce."

(George Cavendish)

"​The Oak is called the king of trees,
The Aspen quivers in the breeze,
The Poplar grows up straight and tall,
The Peach tree spreads along the wall,
The Sycamore gives pleasant shade,
The Willow droops in watery glade,
The Fir tree useful timber gives,
The Beech amid the forest lives."

(Sara Coleridge)

"Always say Bon appetit!
To all people when they eat
Or just say Enjoy your meal!
And it'll show them how you feel."
