Evolution

Here's an experiment. Starting with this Dutch poem, which I wrote.
I couldn't figure out how to set up columns, so here's a screenshot instead.

I know, it's hard to see. Click on it for a better image. Sorry Kathleen.
Anyway, I just wanted to see how a poem could progress from another language.
The leftmost poem is it in it's original form, the second is the effective translation, the third is my interpretation of how an English-only speaking person might see it, and the fourth is refining the third into a poem that makes (a bit more) sense.
It was a fun experiment, actually, and I quite enjoyed this. I know at the end of every post I say, "I'd like to try this sometime."
This time, I mean it.
Which isn't to say I didn't mean it with the others. I just forget easily.
