Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Annemonenblüten/Flowers of the Anemone/Las Flores De La Anémona

Am Fuße der Berge
Versteckt sich ein enges Tal
Im Schatten der Gipfel

Annemonenblüten im frischen Gras
Erste zarte Boten des Frühlings

-----------------------------------------------------

At the foot of the mountains
Hides a narrow valley 
In the shadow of the summits

Flowers of anemones on  fresh tender grass 
The first messengers of spring

----------------------------------------------------


A los pies de las montañas 
Se esconde un estrecho valle 
En la sombra de los picos 

Flores de anémonas en la fresca hierba 
Primeros  mensajeros de la primavera

Kabuteng P.Ink K. May 25, 2010 at 10:55 AM this is such an amazing read, Gert! Wow was the first thought that came to mind when I saw this in 3 languages--this is no easy feat! Enjoyed this (I tried my best to derive some of the Spanish & German words) --it is German right? & by any chance, are you a biologist?

Carolyn Devonshire May 24, 2010 at 5:38 PM Beautiful tanka, Gert. I'm trying to remember just what anamones look like. Has summer arrived in your area yet? It was 95 degrees here for the past few days. I appreciated this refreshing breath of spring. Love, Carolyn
