Yn anffodus, dw i ddim yn gallu rhannu'r gerdd oherwydd mae hi'n mynd ymlaen at y Genedlaethol ( Maes D wrth gwrs).
Ond, dyma gerdd symyl ygrifennais i yn y gweithdy yn Soar ddydd Iau.
I'm very proud because I managed to win the Chair at the Learners' Eisteddfod, University of South Wales, for the second year running.
Unfortunately, I can't share the poem with you as it goes forward to the National Learners' competition.
However, here's a simple poem I wrote at a poetry workshop in the Soar in Merthyr this Thursday, with my translation.
Y PEGYNAU
Y dau pegynau
yn y Stryd Uchel,
yr asgwrn cefn :
un yw’r Imperial,
noson o gerddi,
mae’r pobl yn ysbrydoli ;
un yw’r Coron,
noson o ganu,
mae ystyr o hwyl.
Jorge a Jose
estroniaid ond gyfeillion,
perchnogion y tafarnau.
Rhwng y pegynau
ydy’r tir gwag,
siopau Punt ac elusennol.
Nid polyn y faner
yw’r asgwrn cefn,
ond corff y gweithwyr.
HIGH STREET
The two Poles
of the High Street,
of the back-bone :
one is the Imperial,
nights of poetry
full of inspiration ;
the other's the Crown,
nights of song,
the meaning of 'hwyl'.
Jose and Jorge,
strangers yet friends,
owners of the taverns.
Between those Poles
is the empty land
of Pound and Charity shops.
The back-bone
is not a flag pole,
but the body of the workers.
