norwaypoem #2
I am in norway how
refreshing to be in a spot
where everyone speaks
a tongue that is not mine
norwegian is a musical language
light its phrases end in upbeats
reflecting the country and people
at home I can always tell when a
person speaking english is native
norwegian the accent the rhythm
is unmistakable a delight to hear
