Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Sommerreigen/Summer Dance/Baile De Verano/Danza Estate

Schmetterlinge im Tanz 
Sommerreigen am Nachmittag
Mosaik der Natur 

Von Ferne der Ruf eines Kuckucks
Aus seinem unsichtbarem Versteck 

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

The dance of Butterflies 
Summer roundelay in the afternoon 
A mosaic of nature 

From the distance the cry of a cuckoo 
Out of his invisible hiding 

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

Baile de mariposas 
Corro de verano en la tarde
Mosaico de naturaleza

De la distancia un grito de cuco 
De su invisible escondite 

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

Farfalle nella danza
Danza estate nel pomeriggio
Mosaico della  natura

Il grido di un cuculo
Dal suo invisibile nascondiglio

Doris Culverhouse June 4, 2010 at 5:04 AM Do you really have cuckoo birds? I don't think we have those around here. We went to a wild animal farm at Tybee Island, Ga and they had a crane on display. It is a large bird like an Emu, it's call is like a peacock.
