I, NO LO COMPRENDO. DO YOU?

Hi it's me again with another pet peeve,
As I've stated many times before:
I'd never wear my heart on my sleeve.
I always enjoy reading others poetry,
So many others do I truly believe.

I know this may not sound too right,
Being dyslexic I can only process.
Writings in English,
On any given day or night.

If you wish to publish your poetry,
In your own language.
Which of course is your right,
Why not do it on a non English site.

So for my pet peeve I don't wish to offend,
I hope you understand my learned friend.
It's not just me that cannot understand you,
There's others that feel the same way to.

So let me elucidate if I can,
In just a few words you may understand.
Je ne comprends pas,
No entiendo, No low comprendo.

I know English can be demanding,
But I would hope you're poetry,
Meets mine and others reads;
It's my mind that I love to feed,
Hopefully with some of your poetry.

Yours sincerely till the crack of death
Alan John Ripley.

You miss a lot of perspectives and flavors when you stick to one language. Variety is the spice of life.

thank you Ken!
I'll try to translate each time I write in French, sometimes I lose too much of the meaning by translating my scribble, so I let it so...
