Have you written any poetry in your conlangs?

Here are two of mine.

"Subj"

Ðat tanatas,
Subjan aubzer
K’sðaulam
Anet’srimain.

Gar narter spijan
K’apatam srimain
T’anetat
R’nartaband.

Ele’modat
Ðamae modat
Ni sipamat
Ðacaae.

Stigasat subj
Ebnar k’sðaulam
Anet’srimain
Iajas.

(On the day of a death, the wind comes down to erase the footprints.
The wind makes dust to hide the marks made by walking.
Otherwise it would seem that the walker were still alive.
Thus the wind comes down to erase our footprints.)



"Jas"

Jas ñauer
Gieecat nas
Ju cat zegar megriaka
Aksturd airas cuinaim

Ju ga jaukser
Anke ga zegar moiecat nas

Jas jaubz
Jas staer brenaðam
T’zegoam tespa’kosait zosard dauarduj

Daiatac, ni iajar skicim zluñ’idjard jasan
&#321;or nas arðasat sisi
Ju ñori, ju opaja nas ubini.

Sðockil jasas
Modat jaks, lider k’deudririm.

(Glass covers your picture surrounded by rigid metal imitations of flowers,
and it is cold even though it holds in your beauty. There is too much glass;
glass is for a museum, to hold rare and ancient artifacts. The last time we
shattered the glass, your skin in the morning was warm and soft, and your
lips were moist. The barrier of glass like ice tends to grow back.)
