Jeanne Mcgee Poet Free verse

In the Forests of the World

I am in Guatemala taking Spanish classes because I own and run a gallery
in Mexico.  And this is my first poem in Spanish that I wrote yesterday.


En Espanol

En el bosque del mundo
Hay muchas manos
Alcanzando para el cielo
Esperando para respirar
Las estrellas caren como lagrimas
Espolvorear los deseos
Sobre el mundo
En el bosque, las manos aplauden

In English

In the forest of the world
There are many hands
Reaching for the sky
Hoping for breath
The stars fall with tears
Sprinkling wishes
over the world
In the forest
many hands applaud

Regina Mcintosh October 9, 2019 at 6:14 AM I love it... I wish I knew Spanish... I would think it is very hard to learn a second language and always admire the ones who do. God bless you with many more great poems, Gina Jeanne Mcgee October 9, 2019 at 7:13 AM Oh my goodness Gina, it is so hard to learn. I have been trying for years it seems and I still know only the basics. some people just have a natural gift for languages...I am not one, but it is important for my business, so I must push on.

Ts Poetry October 8, 2019 at 2:43 PM Just wonderful Jeanne Mcgee October 8, 2019 at 4:27 PM thank you. Words and concepts don't always translate as well from English to Spanish. I am working on translations of my poems into Spanish for a book.
