Mar de Ansenuza
Thanks Xfiltrate and McCrankpin for your beautiful poems!
I have another poem with a picture from my last trip:
Mar de Ansenuza, Córdoba
21 de diciembre del año 2012,
fin del mundo,
según el calendario maya.
Hoy es el 27.
El sol se pone sobre la inmensa laguna
de la Mar Chiquita, y la luna,
perfectamente redonda,
asoma por el horizonte opuesto.
La chicharras insisten
con su canto ensordecedor,
y yo me devano pensando
en la profecía de los mayas.
Mientras todo parece seguir el mismo curso,
quiero creer en el comienzo de una nueva era,
la del despertar del corazón
a la solidaridad
y a una nueva consciencia.
Oscurece, pero dentro de mí
se ha encendido una pequeña llama.

Last days of winter in Buenos Aires
It is beautiful and warm here in Buenos Aires, on August 31. We are close to the end of winter. I wrote:
¡Cómo me gustaría vestirme
de primavera!
Por dentro y por fuera.
Estrenar una camisa...
...y una sonrisa.
A rough translation would be:
I wish I could dress myself
as if I were spring!
Outside and inside.
Putting on a new shirt...
...and a new smile.

Hey Diddle Diddle
Empire
Hey Diddle, Diddle
President FDR played the fiddle,
and Japanese jumped over the Pacific,
to Pearl Harbor to be more specific
the military industrial complex laughs
and created 2 atomic bomb blasts
like the silver from Peru and Mexico
made the Spanish Empire rico (rich)
and the opium from the far east
the British Empire without cease
and those bomb blasts
leave me aghast
You?

Thank you Digiamo
Great poems.... I feel your poems write more poems....
Idea: I checked the "similar threads" listed beneath
this thread and found no poems..... ????
Therefore, I propose we create a book an e-book or an e-calendar consisting of poetry from the road written by over landers... riding the world on motorcycles or 4X4s...
I invite all to contribute poems to this thread.... rosa del desierto is in communication with many international publishers ... she has offered to do translations English/Spanish and Spanish/English, marketing, sales etc....
Proceeds will be distributed among contributors.
Finance you next RTW with your poetry..... submit it here...
xfiltrate
eat, drink and write poetry... you can do it!

Grant my share to alms
A quid would do for framing
Let's not neglect Grant
Forgive the haiku
Seems it's my best poets voice
Keeps my prattle down

Leeps and bounds as if half deer

I could not help myself and had to open this thread, firstly because of the title and secondly I love poetry, I just could not think bikers write that much. Great work in my opinion, even if I don't understand all of it I like the sound of Spanish a lot.
