| it's a common mistake that i've made it before myself and i'm sorry. "An" goes before all words that begin with vowels, of course, with two exceptions: when u makes the same sound as the y in you, or o makes the same sound as w in won, then "a" is used. I'm still learning this beautiful language and i reckon this is going to happen for all my life :) i don't intend to offend anyone, this short lesson of grammar was only for me :) thank you, Laurentiu and Simona! | |

| You couldn't have found better words for describing a graveyard's atmosphere in winter time than "solid silence", it tells everything... I enjoyed your poem (and your grammar lesson):-) Cheers! | |

| even if they're gloomy and cold, cemeteries are a good place of meditation for me. here i try to create a gothic atmosphere and there are still elements left aside: the church/chapel, the ravens/crows, the croaks etc. cheers! | |

| Hi Constantin, I'd say forget the stiff grammar rules and the "elements" of composition, but go with the flow; that is the touch of originality (well, as long as the text still makes sense in any language). :-) Don't worry, with time your ears will get used to all the "a"s and "an"s and yes, I'm afraid that learning ANYTHING actually is a life-long process :-) Well, in short, I like your work (when it is not dark), keep it up. :-) | |
