Le petit pont dans un village .
Cet après - midi dans un village près d ' Amiens la route était barrée . On réparait un pont . Je laissais la voiture pour aller voir ce petit pont sur la rivière . Ceci m ' a inspiré ce petit poème . Le pont en effet est riche de symboles .
Il passe inaperçu quand on passe dessus !
Mesure - t - on vraiment ses services rendus ?
D ' une rive à l ' autre il assure le passage
Il permet l ' union des parties du village .
Il est , tout simplement , la Communication.
Essayez donc de vivre ensemble en cohésion
S ' il n 'y a pas ici et là des petits ponts .

The little bridge in a village .
This afternoon in a village nearby Amiens ( France ) the street was blocked . A bridge was under repair . I left the car and went to see the little bridge over the river . This inspired to me a short poem ( in English , forgive me !!!!) . Indeed the bridge can symbolize many things .
People don' t see it when they cross over it !
Are they able to judge how useful is it ?
From a bank to other it allows the passage .
It makes the union of parts of the village .
It is very simply the Communication.
Try to live together in the cohesion
If here and there any little bridges are not found .

excellent, michel!
c'est surtout un lien...pour beaucoup de choses!
tu as une photo de ce joli pont - je voudrais vraiment le voir
Monsieur, I have a favorite bridge near my house. It is old and very beautiful.
This is a really beautiful poem... thanks for sharing
I never thought of a bridge like that before.
Thank you.
Votre poème est merveilleux. Est-ce qu'il y a un photo de ce pont?
That is so lovely! Its very true - bridges are more than just links from village to village but people with people & so on
All the best, Zara.
We have lots of tiny bridges in Simonville
BENE!!! That was beautiful Michel!!!
Great Michel, I suppose Xanga is a bridge which all of us. Have a look at my towns bridge on Narragansett blog yesterday it was when we had 3 bridges now there is just 2
Bridges..... they're so important in SO many ways!
Thx!
C'est une poème très belle, Michel. Écrivez-vous habituellement beaucoup de poésie? Merci de vos commentaires gentils sur mon blog. Votre ami, Neil
...excellent poem, Michel! As Cheri Herald said today, good poetry like good art, always has a deeper meaning. Your poem certainly qualifies as "good" poetry.

J'aime beucoup ton poème! Tu as raison que souvent on ne pense jamais d'un pont comme plus d'un pont. Mais, en réalité, il est mainte de choses.
Ah, les trucs dont on ne pense jamais...

Remercier Dieu pour tous les ponts dans la vie!
That is very thought-provoking, Michel. It makes me think about bridges differently, as FairestC said.
I love French.. this is a great poem.
wonderful!
Michel, c'est des passages beaux et discribes très bien. Merci.
Beautiful poem! It is strange how we look at some things every day, and just take them for granted. Then someone writes something, as you did this poem about the bridge, and it changes the whole way that we look at things. Thanks!
thats beautiful, Michel! and so very true. the pictures of my kitten should be working now if you would go back and look again! I'm sorry they weren't working right the first time. I love your bridges poem! ~
"All beings and things are interesting" indeed
Wonderful!!!! @-}-}-- I always enjoy your topics and themes. Thank you !
There are many bridges in life and they certainly are symbolic. I love bridges. Jass
This is a beautiful poem with lovely layers of meaning. You do not require forgiveness, only praise! Aloha. (:
Very nice, Michel. This xanga is a bridge that lets me communicate with you over the internet. It is always a pleasure to read your site, and receive delightful comments from you on mine. Yes bridges are really great.
mm..what lucy loopdeloup said
i love the way you highlighted something that we DO take for granted -- vous avez dit les mots de verite dans votre jolie mais aussi profonde poeme.
One tends to forget what bridges do, not only in roads but in life, Thanks for the memory. Cheers Portia
Bonjour monsieur, je vraiment apprécie votre mots.
I am glad I can come and give you more applause for that lovely post!!
Yes bridges do make our life easier. Yet, this world today is so determined to ignore them, and to burn them behind themselves. A rather scay thought whether it is a bridge across water, or a bridge across hearts and minds.
Peace~
Thank you for your comment about Victor Hugo and Guernsey. Indeed, he is a renowned historical figure on the island and his house is a great tourist attraction. I like your poem very much. Sur le pont d'Amiens? Merci. Tom
so lovely...
I love bridges, especially the ones over lakes or some kind of water...They are amazing...

Hello, Michel! I see you write poetry. I like your poem very much. I wish I was better at reading French. Sometimes, the computer does unusual things to the translation.
An ode for the many kinds of bridge in life. All the bridges that connect important things. Bridges that connect lives. Friendship to you
Un ode pour les nombreux genres de pont dans la vie. Tous les ponts qui relient des choses importantes. Ponts qui relient les vies. Amitié à vous
Uma ode aos vários tipos de pontes na vida. Todas as pontes que conectam coisas importantes. Pontes que conectam vidas. Amizade à você.

Michel, tu as des lectrices que t'écrit en Portuguais? Magnifique.
J'ai aimé le poème, mais je le préfère en français...

Bonjour! Lovely poem.
Thank you for the birthday wishes!!! =)
Trust the bridge to cover the gaps which come in life.....Great poem!!
Un concept très doux pour méditer. Excuser mes français.
I have a bridge to get home and to get out of course.
Winderful!
It makes me think of a painting...wasn't it Renoir who painted a curved bridge?
Bonjour Michel,
Many thanks for your helpful vegetable planting tips - given the small plot of land in which I have to grow, I shall now have to consider carefully which vegetables to choose from!
Thank you again.
Gavin.

Lovely!
My first French Blog! My grandfather was French, and this was a lovely reminder. Thank you.
Wow...you've gathered a load of comments! Congratulations!
Dear Michel, I hope my writings about the war didn't cause you to have a bad day.......
Hugssssss
thanks for admiring.
Very good, sir. It is indeed the little things in life that express the continuity of our existence.
You are so right... bridges are very important. A wonderful poem Michel. My compliments.
What a wonder a bridge is a crossing over I love bridges and the symbolism of bridges. Great Poem. Jass
Great poem! It's sad how often we fail to see the little bridges in life. We miss a lot of connections to other people, at least I know I do!
Thanks for the sub to my site.
