Gert W. Knop Poet Haiku

Tanz/Dance/Baile

Die Erde erzittert
Im Staccato von Staub und Schweiß
Tönen die Trommeln

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


The earth trembles 
In staccato of dust and sweat 
The sounds of drums


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


La tierra tiembla 
En un staccato de polvo y sudor 
Resuenan los tambores

Sara Kendrick May 30, 2010 at 5:55 AM Interesting write...The earth is trembling now I am sure because of what is happening in the Gulf...Everyone on earth will be effected in one way or another from this oil that is being allowed to keep spilling from the depths of the earth into the environment ....Great idea...The first language is German?...The last language is Spanish?...Sara
