DEW DROPS ON A BRANCH - MORNING
DESDE LA RAMA From the branch, there is
LA GOTA DE ROCA BRILLIANTA a bright glistening dew drop
CRYSTAL SWAROVSKI Swarovski Crystal
VUELANDO EN ORDEN Flying in order
UNA BANDANA DE PATOS a nice ordered Flock of Ducks
EL CIELO SIEMPRE AZUL the sky always blue
EL MES DE JULIO The Month of July
LA MARIPOSA QUIETA the butterfly is so still
EN EL JARDIN DE LAS ROSAS in the Rose Garden
Comments please: Con amor ANGELA XXXX
The Spanish Haiku were originally written by Students
and they do not all follow the 5 7 5 syllable structure.
When I translate a HAIKU from another language it
is not a literal translation! I use POETIC LICENCE to
ensure the English Haiku has the classical 5 7 5 form.
SPANISH is being increasingly taught in UK Schools
because it is the THIRD most common language in
the World. Many words are the same or similar to
Englsh as shown in the above examples. Please
visit my FUSION POEM "WHAT LANGUAGES DO
YOU SPEAK". Thank You. If you post a poem in
a language, other then ENGLISH please a add a
translation as I have done. Yours ANGELA XXXX
It is 7pm MONDAY EVENING in NEW ZEALAND!

From nine o'clock Monday morning, three good haiku Angela.
"A partir de las nueve en punto de la mañana del lunes, tres buenos haikus Angela."
The translation is allegedly Spanish but I am afraid its all Greek to me!
GRACIAS ANDY ~ An excellent Spanish translation ! I always encourage older People to learn languages. Portuguese is almost identical to Spanish and Italian is very similar. As is French (another Romance Language)which I learned at School. Thanks for your comment: Yours ANGELA X
A fine write A & B.
A partit wotist too - wot Gold said. I dunno wot it means though, mind ya! lol.
Come see me Gold. I can translate Greek lettering. Can't speak it though.
You know - when some poems appear in Greek. Something to do with the uploading I think.
Thanks STEVE: Glad you liked the Spanish Haiku. Those who post in \"GREEK\" do it to impress! It is not \"proper Greek\" they have just replaced the English letters with Greek letters (BETA for B etc). I encourage OLDER people to learn languages. To learn the basics: Six months for SPANISH, one year for RUSSIAN & GREEK and two years for CHINESE & JAPANESE! Yours ANGELA X Please check my FUSION on Languages: Thanks.
But there is some gremlin or 'blip' that causes certain poems to appear in Greek, while uploaded in English.
Another unique style of your Brian. You always shine!
Thanks ADELE ~ It's 9:30pm (Monday) in New Zealand! I am sharing this site with BRIAN in the UK. Pleased you enjoyed the Spanish Haiku it is a very lovely language! Love ANGELA XXXX Please check my FUSION on Languages: Thanks.
Your welcome! Sorry Angelia. Thought it was Brian. Either way excellent.
Clever clogs - I'm jealous - super work Brian
What a lovely idea Angela to present haiku in Spanish and English - - the third stanza did it for me with its clear vision of a resting butterfly - was there in that July garden from just three little ilnes - a pleasure to read and thank you for sharing.
