Example of his poetry
Time forglaid Prede u kupple o'rocks a sow un man Hines vlasses eywer perfektane blond' an lan' An hine score wer outku ploys un fran'

Ale ken a saen thy man ypnea so resentane A skrwenneth for hine glays gun mane Hea looketh up de see hine twar skorshane

A gang hemey an sayth nabite plakatin For thine syrfes nis na kyto thar shollin Thine stred that is that date tshar vadin

Ken hea saen me falstane i thie oaks A saen hea resumeth oum a scueseth de tueks An hea smailth an matrovatteth hines buek's

Time passes by A few years ago I saw a man His fair was perfecly black and long And his face was without wrinkles and spots

But when I saw the man fairly recently I was frightened to see his shine had gone dull He was probably thinking about how his face used to looked

I walked towards hime and said do not cry For your appearance is not who you are Your inner is the thing that matters

When he looked me straight in my eyes I saw he understood what I was trying to say And he smiled and stopped crying
