Hello! I've also followed the recommendation about this site and look forward to reading some great poetry. I live in Spain, and although sometimes I feel I'm in the wrong time zone, I noticed that you have a very international staff here! It's all very exciting.... Once I figure out my way around!

Thanks Sylvia! Knowing you're here, maybe I'll try to write on in Spanish! I never really have, just one that combined the two languages, but was directed at an English speaking reader.... Hmmm.... That would be a challenge indeed!

Hi again, Heather, butterfly.gif

I've been thinking several times about your idea of writing in Spanish, or else using a mix...perhaps including some phrases in Spanish...or a refrain (estribillo) to hold a poem together.
You can always add a Note at the bottom if the line is difficult or long.

I'm struggling to compose a refrain for my poem "In the Wind" in Seren's. Some people suggested I do that, and then I thought of Spanish! Seems I used the term 'wind' too often...LOL...(I actually have the whole piece in Spanish, slightly different). Juggle.gif

I do hope you go ahead and compose in both languages. My mistake! I've only used 'adiós' or other words recognized by all. Perhaps you'll inspire me! unsure.gif

Hasta pronto,

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
