My tribute to Mrs. Brigida Meyer- Cratz.
I met her during conferences about the Antillean society in The Netherlands and was inspired by her as a fellow poet. Se died at the age of 69 on May 27 in Amsterdam.
Hende Grandi
Gran Hende
Hende Grandi,
Paso mi a hisa kabes mira Brigida
Mucha yòn mané mi tabata
Ami kla pa yuda drecha mi komunidat
Sin a desaroyá sensibilidat
Hende Grandi,
Oranan ku mester a papia
Buska saber i interkambiá
Pa duna nos hóbennan
Mas noshon di nan identidat
Hende Grandi
Brigida ta ku di dje si
Mi a aseptá korekshon i estímulo
Buskando palabra i frase
Kreando mi poesianan
Hende Grandi
Un Gran Hende Brigida Meyer- Cratz
Plantando bida nobo na su isla
I aseptando final di esun di dje
Un Gran Hende a bai sosegá
No tin preteksto mas
Gran Hende nos tur por ta
Gran Hende manera Brigida.
