Notes About The Poem

Rusty swings

Nights that smell of dew,
days that smell of fresh grass,
flowers that bloom to be seen for a short time, 
leaving their fragrance in the air for us to feel that unforgettable instant.
Slippery days missed somewhere in the past.
Rusty swings forgotten in my backyard that bring back my childhood memories.









Columpios Oxidados.(Spanish)
Noches que huelen a rocío,
días que huelen a hierba fresca,
flores que florecen para ser vistas por poco tiempo, 
dejando su fragancia en el aire para que sintamos ese instante inolvidable.
Días resbaladizos perdidos en algún lugar del pasado.
Columpios oxidados olvidados en mi patio trasero que me traen recuerdos de mi infancia.

Christina Bowring April 24, 2024 at 11:12 AM Dear Maria, this is such a delightful poem my dear friend and so lovely to have it in Spanish as well. Such a reflective, profound read and I love the use of the rusty swings and how it brings back childhood memories although no longer in use. You have captured a lot of depth here. I would love you to do a narration one day and hear some Spanish! Big hugs and praise to you xx :):) Maria Fernandez-Garcia April 24, 2024 at 12:57 PM Dear Christina. How lovely your comment, it makes me feel I can fly. How I appreciate what you say, you don' t have an idea!. One day I will do a narration, first I have to find out. I just write the moment I feel, I am not a poet. This is only a hobby. Can you speak Spanish? because then I can bring you more. Well, how lovely you are. I wish you a nice evening. Take care my friend. Love/María
