Poetry Month and Three Weeks for Dreamwidth
April is the month a number of folks share poems on their blogs, and April 25th is the start of three_weeks_for_dw.
So we'd like to combine that and ask you to share some transcriptions, transliterations and/or translations of poems, ideally ones hard to already find in other places online.
There's no pressure, but if you'd like to comment to this post with a tentative sign-up, saying what language and date you'd like to post in and on, jump in! You could also use this post to brainstorm collaborations - for instance, you might have a book of translated stuff you could type up, but would like some help from a native speaker in tracking down the original, or you can transliterate something but don't have the font or script for a transcription.
It would be great if we could have at least 15-20 languages represented, and some hopefully ones that don't actually already feature in our tags.
And poetry encompasses everything from song lyrics to lullabies and playground chants, so please don't worry about having to translate only the timeless classics.
