Hi!
I have just started learning Lojban, partly because I find the very different grammar interesting, and partly because I am looking for a culturally neutral language for use in some of my art (I am a composer and musician). However, when most people don't know a language it is very important how it sounds. Lojban seems to have a lot of short words, resulting in very many syllables needed for rather simple sentences. It also seems heavy on consonants, while vowels are arguably more important when singing. Do any of you have any experience in making music or poetry in Lojban and would you mind sharing your thoughts about how well suited Lojban is this? Also, if any of you have a short poem in Lojban that I could try to use for a composition, I would be most grateful.
Cheers
