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?

Home, a sense of place
At home on the open road
Anywhere, at home

Predawn ribbons bind
Virgins misty innocence

Xfiltrate, what a great idea!!! Let's do it, and also give a contribution to HU from our proceeds...

Response to Digiamo:

Let our wheels
the poetry spin
the world around.

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

GS3&TT2

all at once now...
 

We are as one, great
poetry in motion, wait!
I hear in us...song

Dad never rode bikes
"Put a seat belt on that thing"
Gotta love those dads..

GS3&TT2

Horizons, hear our plea
DARK clouds the view right now
Love blows them free.

GS3&TT2

Airborn quite often
Leeps and bounds as if half deer
Deep woods trail rider

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.
