A new realm

I finished writing my essay assignment for my eCourse: The Fiction of Relationship about Abbe Prevost’s Manon Lescaut, a tragic story of two young lovers in the 18th century.

I started the next required reading, Jane Eyre, and produced this poem. 

 

 

A New Realm

The marble game we played:

throwing the marble inside 

the circle to scatter the others,

gather them again, repeating 

for hours, till the birds 

got tired watching us play 

but flew away content.

 

We entered a new realm

of what Jane Eyre said,

“we must love something”

and find “a pleasure 

in loving” like a butterfly

entering a garden.

 

 

learning a foreign language

Studies show that learning a foreign language energize the brin and may help slow down  aging of the brain and bolster memory.

I’m on week 5 of my university Spanish eCourse and just finished my first exam. I started to understand the uses of direct and indirect object pronouns.
