Sunday In March

Sonntag im März / Sunday in March / Un domingo en marzo  

Kein Lärm der Straße
Sonniger Sonntag im März
Nur Vogelgezwitscher

Ticken der Uhr im Zimmer
Wie ein Herzschlag der Technik



No road noise
A sunny Sunday in March
Only the birds' chirp

The clock's ticking in the room
Like a technical heartbeat 



No ruido en la calle
Soleado domingo de marzo
Sólo gorjeo de pájaros

El tictac del reloj en el cuarto
Como un latido técnico

Kabuteng P.Ink K. Date: 3/26/2011 10:13:00 AM The contrast you put here is very nice, liked how your first 3 lines speak of nature and the last lines take on a mechanical route-- could picture both in my mind-- enjoyed your read as always. :) Login to Reply

Jack Horne Date: 3/23/2011 2:53:00 PM I'm sorry to hear your arm and hand are still hurting, Gert. I do hope you'll feel better soon. Here's my poem - hope you think it's OK? Love’s soft petals fall Leaving bare thorny branches Heady perfume gone But with care and attention From one rose grows a bouquet Yes, I'd be very grateful if you'd translate for me please : ) Love from Jack Login to Reply

Jack Horne Date: 3/23/2011 9:06:00 AM What a lovely poem, Gert - wish it was so quiet here on a Sunday! I probably need a hair transplant, and liposuction (on my belly), but I won't worry about the things my mirror shows me either LOL. Thanks for sending the poem - it's beautiful - I'll work on my half tonight. Hope your arm and hand get better soon. Love from Jack : ) Login to Reply
