Tá brón orm –
The sorrow is on me.
I’m sorry sounds so much better in Irish than English.
Tá brón orm.
I started this marathon late.
My house had some flooding last night.
Tá brón orm.
The cable guy is repairing the signal and I can’t access the internet.
Tá brón orm.
I’m drawing a blank on words and ideas are not flowing today.
The sorrow is on me
Tá áthas orm –
Joy is on me.
The sun rose today.
My leak wasn’t too bad.
Someone helped me move boxes.
My cable is being fixed.
I have cellular service and can type from my phone.
I’m meeting friends for dinner.
Tá áthas orm – Joy is on me.
I have no idea how to pronounce the Irish, so in my head I’m imagining some of the Irish speech I’ve heard spoken. I love the juxtaposition!
Look at how writing helped you get through this day. I felt as if I was right there with you, moving boxes, etc. Enjoy dinner.
Great poem! I love the structure … beginning with the sorrow and ending with the joy. Love the use of Irish … it looks so beautiful on the page. 🙂
Thanks Diane!
