I haven't read the original poem but if this translation is so beautiful how much beautiful the original poem would be.

Part 2- -Regardless of his identity, Zoran is a magnificent poet. From the first grab-your-attention line to the last, the reader is compelled to keep reading, keep savoring, keep reflecting on this poem. 10++++++++++++

I am confused! ! ! A not unknown condition. I read that this a translation of Zoran's poem. So I searched to find out who he was. Ask answered and told me he was a Coca-Cola HBC has appointed a 21-year veteran of the company, Zoran Bogdanovic, as its new CEO. Bogdanovic, who joined the Europe and Nigeria bottler in 1996.. He could still be a poet, I suppose, but I wouldn't mind being pointed in the correct direction.

Hello Susan, I am flattered to learn that you enjoy reading my poetry. Let me clarify doubts about my identity. I am definitely not a Coca-Cola executive. To be honest, I don't think I'd be a very good one. I am an architect. I've spent time in Paris in my twenties as a painter and a portrait artist. Afterwards, I've lived in the States for many years.

Part 2 - I love languages being fascinated by the infinite ways in which thoughts, feelings and life situations can be expressed, where a slight change in wording can affect the very meaning and the mood of the ideas it conveys. I write poetry in Serbian, English and to a lesser extent in French. So much for now, best regards for you.
