I couldn't agree more, some poems have a rather... special side :D But in our own way, aren't we all a bit special? 🤔

I just watched the movie, The Doors and was equally enamored with Val Kilmer’s performance as well as the majesty and crazy Genius of Jim. I recall the first time I heard that music and it transported me to the 1960’s it was a spiritual experience!

That was brilliant, Aaron! Your translation did it justice. Once translated, you captured the essence of the poem. 💜🖤

Oh Yolanda, I'm so glad to read this feedback! It wasn't super easy to match the original idea in French, but I'm happy with the final result!
