Today is French poet Jacques Prévert's birthday. He would have been 122. I wondered which of his poems were available online in English, and found some on poetryverse.com. I learnt his poems at school - they are deceptively simple!
The poem above - Les feuilles mortes - is actually a song.

catsuit_mango Now I will have this song in mind all day. I loved re-reading prévert as an adult, there is a joy, fun in his words, much happier than Le dormeur du val ;) 3y
Dilara @catsuit_mango So will I. I had forgotten how good a singer Yves Montand is.
Funny what you said about the joy in Prévert's words. Although I can definitely see where you're coming from, I must personally have a melancolic brain, because the poems that I can still quote from - Le cancre, Les feuilles mortes, chanson pour les enfants l'hiver... are all pretty depressing! 😥 3y
