Junger Grünspecht/ Young Green Woodpecker/ Jóven Carpintero Verde

Im tiefen Flug Herrlich leuchtendes Gefieder Ein junger Grünspecht Im hohen alten Lindenbaum Am günen Ufer der Mandau ------------------------------------------ In its deep flight With splendid bright plumage A young Green Woodpecker At a tall old linden tree Near the green banks of the Mandau ------------------------------------------ En su vuelo rasante Con maravilloso brillante plumaje Un joven carpintero verde En un tilo viejo y alto Cerca de orillas verdes del Mandau

Hi Gert, another great tanka. Thanks for your comments on 'This Heart of Mine' and yes, I did manage to find a photo of a hoopoe - a very striking bird, thanks ~ Sharon :)

Although I have never seen this Green Woodpecker, I am delighted to know it exists. Your words bring it to life and now I'll be searching the internet to find a photo of one. Always a pleasure to read your poetry, Gert! Love, Carolyn
