honey, i need you in my life

Man o man! You are so right!
You do need honey in your life!

Unlike regular sugar, honey is about 80% all natural sugars. It's a fat-free and cholesterol-free food. It's got tons of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamins B6, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin. It's a great source of calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc... It also has a very healthy glycemic index which is you absorb it gradually - good for digestion!

So, yes, get all the honey you need :)

:-) so if you needed the translation for that:

Honey, I need you in my life. - Cheri toutou kòkòt, m bezwen nan lavi m.

Tale of the Haitian Flag

The Haitian flag has endured many changes over the span of two centuries.  As Haiti celebrates a new era,  this illustrated post reflects on the most memorable Haitian flags.

Tale of the Haitian flag

Early 1500's
On crowded shabby boats,
They arrived in chains, from afar.
Replacing the natives
Who succumbed under forced labor.
☼

Early 1790's

Fighting back oppression
Became their primal desire.
The drum beat and conch call
Harmonized with their warring cries.
☼

Late 1790's

Revolution arose.
“A banner to lead us!” they begged.
Up went the tricolor.
“Onward!” they cried, waving it high.
☼

Year 1802

Soon it was apparent,
Flaunting the enemy’s banner
They were branded for life,
Their identity undefined.
☼

Year 1803

“Comrades!” called their leader,
"Let’s make this flag our contention."
He tore out the white stripe,
Wrote down these words: Freedom or Death.
☼

Year 1805

Some of them came to think,
“Out with the blue, the bourgeoisie."
Our flag shall bid our plight,
Skin and blood, death and victory.
☼

Mid 1860s

The emblem, they agreed,
Must reflect pride, not affliction.
They raised the blue and red,
The stripes riding the horizon.
☼

Year 1964

It’s said, “Beyond mountains,
 You will come upon more mountains."
*Négritude supporters
Once more imposed the black and red.
☼ 

Year 1987

They took one final stand
 Against the father and son's reign,
Stood as one, and once more
Proudly hoisted the blue and red.
☼

*Négritude was a literary and ideological movement started by black intellectuals, writers, and politicians in the 1930s for the purpose of affirming the black race and the worth of African history.

"Yon gwo manman malet - a big mother suitcase" Is that right? It doesn't make sense to me.

That's because 'manman', in this case, doesn't mean mother. It means 'huge'.

example:

yon gwo manman vag - a huge wave.

yon gwo manman malèt - a large suitcase

In the word "Madanm" is the "n" silent? Or do yo pronounce the "n" with the "m"?

n is silent, but 'an' is considered a nasal vowel.
'an' is pronounced like "uh".

madanm - pronounced like mah-duh-m

SO how would you explain this to a Creole student when the sentences only use one verb? Ex: Corn was planted. Mayi plante. or I am going home. M ale lakay. or I will see you tomorrow? M ap we w demen? All 3 ex use PS and PP. No helping verb used.

You're right, no infinitive form is used here.
Corn was planted - Yo te plante mayi (past tense of the verb 'to plant')
I am going home. - M prale lakay (PP of verb 'to go')
I will see you tomorrow. - M ap wè w demen. (Future form of verb 'to see')

Examples of instances where infinitive form is used:
They're going to plant corn. - Yo prale plante mayi.
I am going to go home. - M pral ale lakay.
I am going to see you tomorrow. - M prale wè w demen
