It's not the first complete foreign language poem here -- there's a Spanish one floating about somewhere. And at some point I will put up some of my french stuff, by special request. English has a great many ressemblances to German; the French impact on it is mainly in the words. Modern English is, after all, a mix of the Saxons language, which was Germanic/Nordic, and the French that the Normans brought with them when they took over the lovely isle back in 1066.
