Let the journey begin...

First of all, welcome everybody. This is the very first post of my Student's Academic Writing blog. Here I'll try to tell thee about experiences I have while producing the B.A. on the Old English Period and Medieval Literature, with a dose of historical context - at least I hope so.



Apart from that, I'll post some of poems by myself, presumably even short stories, provided that I manage to invent one of those.

As a starter, I proudly present the piece of poetry I wrote. If thee have any questions concerning it or you'd like to leave a comment, there's a space for that below the text. This one comes from the Nothern Venetians project I participated not a few months ago. Simultaneously, it's the first poem I've ever written in English.

The Bridge

there once was a place

this special place

in the Venice of the North

the Lover's Bridge

for so they called it

it was something to show thee

if you were my lover

no boats

but just few wooden things

just few wooden things

above the water

thine eyes would shine

in perfect symmetry

in the Venice of the North

upon the river

on the Bridge of Lovers

for so they called it

I would like to show it to thee

if you were my lover

in the Venice of the North

on the Lover's Bridge

Let the journey begin!
