tlhIngan <poetry>



Pardon the DIvI' Hol. Perhaps the rest of this will atone.
I don't understand poetry in English -- I don't know what
made me think I could write it in tlhIngan Hol -- but here
is my attempt for your enjoyment. Not knowing what form
tlhIngan poetry would take, I used a 3-line verse with
a 4-5-3 syllable pattern and line 1-3 rhymes. Please
excuse any "poetic licence".  I tried to keep it to a
minimum.  yItIv.
