Gert W. Knop Poet Senryu

Ruhe/ Silence/ Paz

Ruhe kehrt jetzt ein 
Wenn die Gedanken schlafen
Nach bewegtem Tag

----------------------------------------

Now silence returns
When thoughts are finally asleep
After a hard day

----------------------------------------

Ahora vuelve la paz
Cuando duermen los pensamientos
Después de un día difícil

Doris Culverhouse June 26, 2010 at 7:47 PM we saw a fireworks display tonight from afar and free. It was different with no noise...Like no sound on the tv.

Joseph Spence Sr June 26, 2010 at 10:35 AM This is excellent. I like the renditions and translations. There is so much reality in these few lines. Great job! Joseph

Carolyn Devonshire June 26, 2010 at 9:50 AM Such a peaceful quality to this lovely senryu, Gert. Putting those thoughts to sleep has always been a struggle for me, Gert, especially after a hard day. But when finally the "silence returns," we approach the gateway to beautiful dreams. Wonderful write! Love, Carolyn
