khdasel reacted to jmwellborn in December challenge - Festive fever
@v_kyr I am so glad you were kind enough to include your beautiful designs again here! A few weeks ago I posted a comment about your glorious Christmas trees (which I spotted last year), purposely hoping that new forum members would see it and discover your spectacular work. Here is the perfect spot!! I am in such awe of your genius. And so grateful for your generosity. Happy Saint Nicholas Day to you -- 5 days early!!

Hi. Just as a hobby I like to write original song lyrics sometimes.
Most are in English, though I have written two songs in Esperanto and one in French.
Years ago I was looking for rhymes for the word paco (which means peace) and I went through the dictionary that I had available to try to find Esperanto nouns ending in -aco.
I found various, including boaco, cetaco, erinaco, glaco, graco.
https://translate.google.com/
Those words shaped the lyrics of the song.
I cannot find the original text at present, it is on a print out in a box somewhere, but I have got a bit of it on the web.

The key part in relation to this discussion is as follows.
Kiam neĝas se vi imagas
la branĉkornojn de boaco
Se vi dolĉe respektas
la vivon de erinaco
When it snows if you imagine
the antlers of a reindeer
if you sweetly respect
the life of a hedgehog
I used the word dolĉe rather than gentile (kindly) because it has two syllables and I wanted the sort of "tang" of the last two letters of dolĉe
The thing is, I would not have thought of having a reindeer and a hedgehog in the song if the song was in English, the imagery is thus of the language.

Pulled out a true life photo, Christmas Eve photo, several years past. Made several adjustments and copied photo on stock photo iPhone. I forget the original program used to add the snow. I was in the process of telling the Christmas Story of Christ birth. My daughter took the photo on Samsung cell phone, as I recall. Not a great photo; however, grandsons head on shoulder made my Christmas, as well as other asking all the questions.
