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

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
