Gert W. Knop Poet Free verse

A Flower

Eine Blume / A Flower / Una flor

Eine Blume blüht mir jetzt 
zu dieser Zeit.
Ach hätte sie doch auch
für mich geblüht
in der Vergangenheit!



A flower blooms only for me
this very time
Oh if it would have also bloomed
for me in earlier times!


Una flor florece sólo para mí
en este tiempo
¡Oh, si también habría florecido
para mí en tiempos pasados!

James Foulk April 26, 2011 at 11:34 AM a neat little piece of poetry, enjoyed it.

Leo Larry Amadore April 26, 2011 at 11:21 AM I definitely enjoyed all three versions of this concise work...especially since I lived 2 years in Germany in the 60's and have lived both in Mexico and on the south Texas border with Mexico for many years. Excellent job.

Gwendolen Song April 26, 2011 at 7:11 AM Dear Gert- I was waiting for you to post a new work. It is interesting how, through this brief poem, you feel as though the flower's beauty is made especially for YOU! I believe that's how God planned it! Have a great day. Gwendolen

De R April 26, 2011 at 6:26 AM How have you been doing, Gert? I hope everything's ok, just came back so see some poems here on Soup. Kinda missed you all. Nice Free verse here, my friend, but a little nostalgic, I think..Have a wonderful day!:) Emilia
