Short Uns Poems

a simple sunrise
naked branches shuddering
in December air

promises of snow blizzard
fill young 'uns hearts with wonder...

Good Old King Coal
Young 'uns said he had no soul
Stubborn, he refused to 'go green'

Then a power outage struck
Those greens shed their pluck ~
Came clean, and begged for the King...

There once was an old man from Japan
Who scoffed at gender pronoun confusion
  He said, Listen you young 'uns
  If you really want to have fun
    Pronounce my name fast --

Importante

Em julho,
em todos os tempos;
doravante e agora é importante,
cuidar umas de outras,
uns de outros! 

É fazer mais e mais,
mais com menos e menos 
até que se possa
fazer tudo mais e mais!...

Bons Tempos

De fato, você e eu
Vivemos uns tempos 
em que todos
os gênios 
gostariam de viver,
tempos em que  
grandes desafios 
 formam-se...  
Grandes
necessidades  
chamam  
grandes virtudes
e fazem fazer 
melhor e 
mais e mais....

I am the stereotype of a middle-age lady with grey hair
Working as a preschool teacher

Wearing mumu dresses in bright  colors

A Sunday school teacher wanting to make it a full-time job

To whittle myself a new profession

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box
But, I know I can do it!...

THE EIFFEL FINGER

After
The Avalanche 
Of Bullets in France,
I held My red sore heart 
In both My hands. The darkest shadows were questioned...
What Shall We do now? 
Amour Vous les uns les autres plus.
You love Each other more. 
Plus D'amour.
More Love. 
Amour

Als diese Stimme 
noch von gewesenen Tagen, 
von vergessenen Fragen,
von befreiten Taten sang;
mir die Seele allzu gern 
mit verklungenen Worten mengte,
die aus Eifer in uns rankten,
ein Zaubergarten der endlosen Nächte.
Komm´ und suche nochmals nach mir;
denn wo strömt das Sein, 
wenn nicht dir entgegen?...

Es lief ein Regentropfen 
über deine Wangen.
Ich wünschte sehr, 
ich hätte ihn gefangen.
Kam er durch Schmerzen hervor
oder doch durch 
einen gebrochenen Schwur?
Ist es ein Licht, 
das sich in Flammen setzte?
Ist es dein Selbst, 
das dir entfuhr?
Oder ist es doch ein Zeichen, 
welches uns von Himmeln zeugt?...

Por tudo Aleluia

Em todos os tempos,
nos tempos de pandemia,
Aleluia pelo céu que temos 
com o amor de Jesus, 
Aleluia pelo céu que temos 
em nossos lares uns com os outros 
e com nosso amor juntos 
e com nosso trabalho e serviço por Ele. 

Hoje é o dia
o dia de ver
um pouco do céu 
aqui e agora,
o dia da Aleluia!...

My viens run warm with the thought of you
In my womb you lay but in my heart up will stay
Our hearts beat together
My eyes have adorn your image in my womb
In my mind dear child I have held you image
The blood that uns through your soul is touch with love
At your birth my illusion became a sweet reality
Now my arms hold you and care for you...

I trained with Schwarzenegger, 
down Wag Bennets gym
at this school, I was miniscule 
when standing next to him
young Arnie was a quiet boy
so gentle and so placid
his muscles hard as iron, 
where mine were soft and flaccid
The gym renowned around the world
 for training he man titans
where Arnie lifted heavy weights
 but I'd just lift the light uns...

That fashion style's come round again
for everywhere one sees
the young 'uns in their denim jeans
with rips across the knees.
Some sporting just a single slash,
others have two or more,
it must help ventilate their gait
don't know what else they're for.
If having holy clothing means
they wear a look that rocks,
it means that I am bang-on trend
with my pants, my shoes and socks....

AC Benus translation of "Uns/ aus den Händen/ fielen die Kameën"
by Robert Jentzsch


We/ from our hands/ watched as the cameoes lay
Slipped from our fingertips used to their caress; 
Fallen are the pearls whose tempered sight just may
Have spared us from our own distress. 

Past/ is the day. Others cheer when it concludes
With deep evening as gliding stars come to play; 
On the other hand we repent dying moods.
Pine-wood wings blowing clouds away....

M-ore fun in America
A-s it is in the Far East; 
U-nique kind of politics
R-uns which people feast.
I-t's more fun in the USA, 
C-reating joyful election; 
I-t comes to your knowledge
O-n September twenty-second.

A-fter years of terrorism, 
M-ore mirth is in Uncle Sam; 
E-xcitement is truly brought, 
R-apture has made weather calm.
I-t's not only in the Philippines
C-an you feel the euphoria; 
A-lthough West is miles away, it's more fun in America....
