One day, I had been on the way to one of my sisters
when I was suddenly stopped by two misters.
The one of them has been very small and so thin
The other was tall but he looked like his twin.
They men wore black suits, white shirts and a tie,
the one of them has been chatty, the other was shy.
They asked me whether I could do them a favor.
And I suddenly had in my mouth a bad flavour.
At the corner stood friends with some boxes of wood,
they looked very kind and their mood has been good.
When we came to the group, they was looking so happy,
they shaked my hands but one of them was a bit snappy.
I gave her a smile but this has not changed her mood,
I ignored it, I was thinking she was not feeling so good.
I was unable to guess what they wanted from me.
They laughed and one of them showed me a ribbon with key.
I was wondering what that key would probably mean
but then I saw there was coming a car, it was green.
The door has been opened and inside of the car
There was sitting my sister, in her hands holding a jar.
Within the jar there was stucking a paper with print,
and that print has given me the important hint.
"Someone, who always forgets the day of his birth
should been called as the greatest fool on the earth."
When I looked at her face and I saw how she did grin,
then I felt how a shiver was running over my skin.
Then I started laughing, it was suddenly clear
that I had forgotten my birthday... like every year.

Thanks so much, dear Paula.
I really appreciate your effort. You did correct my peoem without to change the sense. You know? I was really a little embarrassed because of a few of my mistakes. A few of them shouldn't have happened. I'm going to correct my mistakes soon. Thanks again for your help.

ELF-Noor, thanks so much for your nice comment.
I try keeping writing but it's not always so easy to find a nice topic.
Really interesting poem..
You are talented, keep it up..
Never stop writing Poems..
Dear Paula, I am aware about my problems. It's only, sometimes I make a compromise in terms of the rhyme or rhythm .... but also often is my English not good enough to write a better poem.
Writing poems is for me a good way to improve my skills. I startet writing when I started learning your language. I never had classes or courses in English language, everything I know is just self-education. So I never will be a perfect English speaker or writer. It was my goal to beable to communicate with people and I think I am on a good way.
Thanks for your nice words and I would be grateful if you could tell me about my wording problems in this my poem... (Even if I wouldn't change my poem.... )
Dear Adalina Bala,
Dear Kal,
thanks so much for your nice comments.
"Someone, who always forgets the day of his birth
should been called as the greatest fool on the earth."
What a great poetess you are? You have described emotions nicely.
Thanks for sharing dear Rose,
Dear Rosemary, thanks for your compliments, I appreciate your comments very much.
But, you know? I am not that great poet. To be honest, I write poems only in English language though my English isn't good enough. Writing helps me to sort out my thoughts and to improve my English skills.... and it's fun.
I am happy because you wrote I gave you another view in terms of Germany.
As you said, Germany is well-known for its philosophers. But did you know that the beside name of Germany also is "The land of poets and thinker"?
We have great poets, the most of them lived in the past centuries, as there are
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, they will be the most famous.
German literature can be traced back to the Middle Ages, with the most notable authors of the period being Walther von der Vogelweide and Wolfram von Eschenbach. The Nibelungenlied, whose author remains unknown, is also an important work of the epoch, as is the Thidrekssaga. The fairy tales collections collected and published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century became famous throughout the world.
Theologian Luther, who translated the Bible into German, is widely credited for having set the basis for the modern "High German" language. Among the most admired German poets and authors are Lessing, Goethe, Schiller, Kleist, Hoffmann, Brecht, Heine and Schmidt. Nine Germans have won the Nobel Prize in literature: Theodor Mommsen, Paul von Heyse, Gerhart Hauptmann, Thomas Mann, Nelly Sachs, Hermann Hesse, Heinrich Böll, Günter Grass, and Herta Müller.
