Notes About The Poem

 

Something to say about these Haiku. This is a near place where I live. People grow wine here, the most. But also fruit and vegetables. It's popular all over the world. It's next to the river and the area is called in gallego (another language in Spain): "RIVEIRA SACRA" what it means. SACRED RIVERSIDE. This area has lots of visitors because of its beauty. But as a working land for picking the grapes is very hard and dangerous, because of the conditions of the vineyards. People have to carry up the hills the grapes on their shoulders and it's really hard work. But the wine is very appreciated, crossing many frontiers. This is also our pride because after hundred of years of work, now we are having a recognition and I had to write it down.

 

Sacred

Harsh area to grow up
     charming views for waking up
along sacred land.

               Exposed to chances
         fed by honorable pride 
                   to conquer our sense.

               Sacred riverside
       full of vineyards, hills to climb
to taste the best ones.

Red, white or rosé
          served to the sacred spirits
                   to relish in a glass.

Hi Yann. Thank you. It s not about drinking. It s about the land where the drinking comes from, the hard work and all that. Good night yann
