He wrote in Guernésiais, which is the indigenous language of the island. Among his poetical works are Rimes Guernesiaises published in 1831. Métivier blended together local place-names, bird and animal names, traditional sayings and orally transmitted fragments of medieval poetry to create themes.Que l'lingo seit bouan ou mauvais / J'pâlron coum'nou pâlait autefais, wrote Métivier."
