Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Sommer Serenaden/ Summer Serenades/ Serenatas De Verano

Lang schon verklungen
Die Sommer Serenaden
Im frühen Rauhreif

Über dem silbernen Gras
Liegt jetzt schon sanft der Nebel

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

Long faded away
The summer's serenades
In the early rime

Upon the silver grass
Lies softly the fog

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

Hace  tiempo se apagaron
Las serenadas del vernao
En temprana escarcha 

Sobre herba platinada
Esta puesto suave la niebla

Audrey Haick October 25, 2010 at 11:34 AM As Carolyn just said, it seems like summer 's still speaking and we will enjoy her lingering because we have no idea what winter will be like..last year it was extreme for us on the east coast.. Thank you for all your kind comments and love to you, Gert. Audrey

Carolyn Devonshire October 25, 2010 at 9:52 AM A captivating description of a foggy morning, my friend. Summer is trying to linger even in the U.S. Northeast with temperatures still in the 70s, so we've been seeing a lot of the soft "fog" lately, Gert, as the coolness of night makes way for the warmth of day. Love that story about Clooney and Malkavich! I haven't seen that ad. Where is Caroline Cecile these days? It's been weeks since she posted a poem. Really miss her. Great to have you back! Love, Carolyn
