After the success of the first Odd Challenge on poems in the future tense, here is a second one - John Keats did it with "La Belle Dame sans Merci", as did Wilfred Owen with "Dulce et Decorum Est". Can you write a poem with a title in another language? Tag them #OddChallenge, and share the prompt.

Brill - The Tanka Puentes are coming in thick and fast. Fruchten is a brilliant word. Shades of Fructose, fruity and fruitfulness. And the english greeting. "Hello, old fruit"

Thank you, Mike. Yes, I found your prompt through @jenthorne.bsky.social . Also, as a German, that saying is new to me. I shall remember it!
