Goodness, gracious, me oh my! That's magnificent. How well you make with the rhyming and the rhythm. Artful use of poetic license and all. Impressive.

Next I'm doing something a bit more difficult, but it's the most perfect poem written in Middle English - the Pearl. I bet you'd do a fantastic job with that.

I adore the translation and must promote it in some meaningful way.

I really like it as a meditation, so I tried to make it rhythmic and easy to remember, as the original was. I'd like to use it myself.

Stunning, really. You should write a bunch of those, maybe send them to poetry journals to see what happens.
