I always enjoy the rhythm and power of Ethiopian Poetry but the Amarigna that the poets use and the Amarigna I use have no similarity at times. My Amharic is the same one that I brought along with me as a 3 year old from Ethiopia and the Amharic the poets use is a complicated, deep language that seems to be the true Amarigna.

This guy (Tagel Seyfu) is more my speed... I understand every word.... maybe because all his stuff is put to videos:
Here are a few more of Tagel's poems.
