  1. This world was so different with these eyes. What couldn’t she look into? Her home, the one room in the inn over Brelkis Pub, appeared akin to a foreign land she had yet to explore. She became enamored with the curve of the master’s sword and lost an entire hour to its brilliance. When she ripped herself from the odd dimples along its polished edge, she fell then into the trap that was Bastora’s saddle. How could a horse stand such intricacy upon their backs without once gazing to see how it had been developed?

  2. I was a foreigner once, too, in another country. I don’t know what being a foreigner really means. I have always been soo interested in other cultures, but I would really like to know the way cultures form and coin the way one thinks. Is language THE thing which makes you foreign? And is my culture, where everyone’s considered to be free and I as a woman can do whatever I want to really better than traditional cultures which seem to be foreign to me?

  5. The foreign men had a great trip to America. They enjoyed the pigeons, the Empire State building, and the MOMA. Then, they went to another foreign country, Mexico, and enjoyed the tacos.

  7. Hello
    walking through dark alleyways
    in search of lost memories
    Being alone never felt so good
    But strangely enough
    things feel
    Foreign.

  21. a new triumph, soldiers crawling over land, slowly standing, more slowly raising their guns. a wave moving through the fields towards an unmanned throne.

  23. I was a foreign woman in a foreign land traveling foreign countries. My heart felt foreign with him. I was lost, shadowed, just a cell in a land of membranes. I was devastatingly alone. The trees and the leaves all moved to the sound of the emptiness inside me, and thus, they stood still.

  24. A little dell, wise word. Places beyond my years or fingertips. They take a little time, brushing through my mind. The wind of breath off lips that I’ll never know. But they know, I assume. They know all, these absent mouths. They close around themselves and make the sounds I find hard to believe exist.

    emay
  25. in desperation they set out for a foreign land to escape the problems in the here and now

    finding that even in a foreign country these problems are still around and then complicated by not speaking the language

    sad state of affairs :(

  26. Is always better than what you know. There is excitement and adventure waiting in the places, people, and things we have yet to discover. May something always be able to be foreign.

  27. Foreign. Such an odd word, but I guess it makes sense since its supposed to describe the feeling of being odd, and out of place. Exactly how i’m feeling. Who would have thought that my own mind might be foreign to my body, that my thoughts hold ideas that I never would have thought of before I started college? Foreign is just one of those things that you don;t want to happen but just does.

  30. from somewhere, a foreign memory–

  31. Foreign fruits, like the durian and the loquat, are new sounds in the ear and new tastes in the mouth. Despite the globalization of food–the tomato in Italy, the potato in Ireland, the banana in the United States–we still leave so many foreign foods foreign to our palates and our minds. But this foreignness can be a new beginning for our cuisine and for our culture.

  32. We cower at the strange, don’t we? Refusing to understand what we fear, we oftentimes mistake it for something unworthy of our time or effort. How many chances do we have to get things right? Do we submit to our own limitations, or do we choose to rise above it?

  33. Foreign is this love.
    love that has no mean.
    love that is none,
    what is foreign when love is common
    what is love when foreign isnt common
    why shalt anyone love
    what makes one foreign
    why doth thou shout?

  34. Me, here, there, everywhere. Not sure where I belong.

  35. sono io in qualunque posto e in nessuno… lontana da casa e quando sto qua.. da dove vengo? è straniero quello che incontro ogni giorno la mia identità è straniera a me stessa, voglio ricostruirla tutta da capo pezzo per pezzo, per non cadere.

  36. New and different
    His eyes are luminous
    His lips are lush
    With hair so silky

    Foreign and exotic
    Arrogant and rude
    Silly boy doesn’t know
    What he would do
    With a girl with an attitude

  37. Foreign is this love.
    love that has no mean.
    love that is none,
    what is foreign when love is common
    what is love when foreign isnt common
    why shalt anyone love
    what makes one foreign
    why doth thou shout?

  38. Forgein is off distance. Foreign, the opposite of home. People from around the world are foreign to us. Foreign is not bad or good. Foreign is just different.

  39. She was new to the nation. She had traveled very far from her home land to America for all the opportunity it brought. She was very poor, but an amazing artist. Her parents saved all the money they could for many years so she could have a future. But she felt like just another foreigner. As she walked slowly through the crowd around her, she realized that she was no stranger in this melting pot.

  40. an unknown factor in the equation. Not something to be feared but to be learned. Open up the curiosity in yourself and explore something different from yourself. True you may be hurt but it’ll be worth it to have learned something new.
