Ein Herbsttag/ An Autumn Day/ Un Día De Otoño

Auf blankem Asphalt Regenreigen, Blättertanz Früher Herbstbeginn Lautes Stöhnen der Bäume Unter endloser Regenlast ---------------------------------- On shining asphalt Rain's roundeley, leaves' dance Early start of autumn Sonorous groaning of trees Under non-ending rain load ---------------------------------- Asfalto brillante Baila de lluvia, danza de ojas Al comienzo de otoño Fuerte gemidos de árboles Bajo carga infinita de lluvia

What a great rain poem! This is really lovely-- gives such a serene feeling in my opinion-- enjoyed how you depicted rain here-- sort of makes me want to snuggle in bed and just listen to the rain...:)

C'est un joli poème d'automne, Gert! A very nice picture you describe. I would just say that on the last line, instead of writing not ending", I would write, non-ending or unending. Makes the sound a little smoother when you read it. Just a suggestion. Thanks for sharing and thank you for your kind comments on my latest. Alles Gute und eine glückiche woche, Caroline.

Quite an image of autumn, Gert. I especially love the second line "Rain's roundeley, leaves' dance." Also the "sonorous groaning of trees" below uninding rain. How curious that "asphalt" sounds pretty much the same in all three languages. Thank you for sharing this picture of fall in Germany with us, my friend. It looks much the same here. Love, Carolyn
