Loosen up the tongue
Liven the mind,
Live for the words,
Learn in swift time.
Look for fresh ways
Listen, take care.
Lap up the praise
Love it, despair.
Luck you will need
Laugh at your blunders,
Layered and limitless
Are a languages wonders.

I've been looking at the German language and most recently Spanish again. I lived In South America for 6 months (mainly in Argentina) so the interest was already there for that. I'm not sure where the German came from, perhaps the visit to watch Germany Women against France at the Euros instigated it. Anyway, I thought I'd write a poem in relation to languages.
A Simple rhyming one, but I like how it turned out. It is also my first piece of work for some time, although I have several unpublished works in drafts. These I consider to be better quality and will therefore be sent to publishers when I see fit before appearing on Hello Poetry.
