Speaking In Tongues

I love everybody regardless of the race, creed or class. And language barriers have done us more harm than good. How I wish I understand all the languages in the world.

Yes, I must confess that I do speak in both known and unknown tongues in the Holy Spirit whenever God gives me the utterance. As at present, I speak about three international languages. And my fellow poet and the co-author of our anthology Toni is teaching me his mother tongue of Spanish. And one day I will teach him my own mother tongue of Igbo that is spoken in Nigeria, UK, US and so many other countries.

As you should have noticed, I now provide translations of all my poems and the poems of other contributors and literary reviews in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch as shown above just on top of the Google banner. Just click on the flag of the country of your choice and the website will be translated into the official language for your benefit. So, that the French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch can now enjoy reading Kisses & Roses like those who understand English have been enjoying since last Summer. The more the merrier.

Enjoy!

  1. I am amazed by your blog. And yes I do wish that I could speak all the languages in the world so that it can break the barrier between me and the people around the world. Well, it sounds like a dream but if there is an opportunity for me to do so, I would.

    Your poems are brilliant! That is what I must say. Well, I am not a poet nor a published writer but I am just a 19 year old student searching for answers, having faith that someday world peace will be restored around the world. I love writing hence that explains why I compose poems. :)

    But still your blog is awesome. Cheers!

  4. Hey!

    Haha. Well it's just the account name. Lol. I'll probably change it soon because I haven't logged in (Blogger) for ages!

    I really like your effort and the poems too! *hugs*
