Vor Himmel und Meer Wie Inseln auf weißem Sand Schatten des Pandanuss ----------------------------------- Before sky and sea Like islands on white sands Shadow of screwpines ----------------------------------- Enfrente de cielo y mar Como islas sobre arena blanca La sombra del pándano ___________________________ Die Stille der Nacht Wie bunte Blütenträume Im erholsamen Schlaf ------------------------------------- The silence of night Like colourful flowering dreams In a relaxing sleep -------------------------------------- El silencio de la noche Como sueños de flores colorados En un sueño reposado

I love the smell of pandan leaves! We actually include that in cooking our rice since it gives off a wonderful hint of taste as well & we have this dessert, Buko Pandan, made with young coconut meat, coconut cream & jelly infused with pandan leaves, added with sago pearls--yummy :) now I'm craving for that :) enjoyed your poem as always :)

Gentle images in both haikus, Gert. And the melodies work well in all three languages! Love, Carolyn
