Hebert Logerie Poems

Bon appetit a tout Ayisyen zanmim yo,
Moun ki pral bwè, manje, deguste bon soup joumou,
Ke nou fè ak joumou, kou koden, makawoni, ke bef,
Kawòt, yanm, seleri, pèsi, ak lot bon legim.

Poetry
Is about simple and powerful words
It is not about nuclear wars
Poetry is about peace
...

Many words have lost their meanings
Many people have lost their signification
Some people have no respect for their position
Some words have lost their zests and their stings.
...

Muchas palabras han perdido su significado
Muchas personas han perdido su significado
Algunas personas no tienen respeto por sus carreras
Algunas palabras han perdido sus picaduras y zestes.

Black tears
White tears
Colorful tears
Tears have no color
...

Lágrimas negras
Lágrimas blancas
Lágrimas coloridas
Las lágrimas no tienen color

My brain is confused
But my heart is happy
I am incredibly amused
By emotions. I feel silly
...

Listen to the symphonic waves of the sea
The sound that soothes the pulse and the nerves
Listen to the ebb and flow of the ocean waves
The fringes look attractive, sweet and shiny.
...

Ecoutez les vagues symphoniques de la mer
Où le Konpa Haïtien apaise le pouls et les nerfs
Ecoutez le flux et le reflux des ondes de l'océan
Les franges sont lumineuses et l'air séduisant.

Lies throw out fast
Everything that's good
Lies do not last
It's like rotten food.
