Very cool. Since my conlang Orêlynna is supposed to be a poetic language, I
appreciate any poetic ideas that I come across. I have to work very hard to
create a poem that is passable, so I enjoy seeing what other people do.

Did you write the poem in the conlang, or in English first and then translated it?
