but all her looks were too sad
Because I don't know what else to do with this, have some melodramatic!poetry (also, by extension, shitty!poetry):
Quand T'es Parti
Je ne peut rien penser sauf
Tu me manques,
Je ne peut rien dire sauf
Je t'aime encore,
Je ne peut rien sentir
Quand t'es parti.
This got me thinking though -- someday, I'd love to start up a 'zine for bilingual English-French short fiction and poetry. It would be geared towards Canadians (could probably get an arts grant for it), and would have an equal number of English and French works published in it. Not only that, but it would also encourage works that combine both languages together within the same poem/story. As far as I know (and I don't know much, since I haven't gone searching), there's nothing like that out there currently. Who knows, there's probably something similar started up already, I hope there is. But if not, well, then maybe someday I will start it. Cause I think it's a damn good idea.
What do you guys think, crazy idea or workable idea? (Or "run a damned Google search already, Lillian, it's been done" ?)
ETA: Did a Google search -- found this site, which will be useful for market hunting, and specifically aea magazine, which does accept submissions in both English and French. From a quick scan, though, that seems to be the only one listed there.
