what about poetry en espanol?

I'm an amateur writer. I do have some poetry id like to share but I like to write in Spanish, seeing as it is one of the " romantic languages". But I'm not sure how many of you guys can actually read Spanish. Give me some feedback

Me gustan los poemas en Espanol.

Although not a native speaker of the language, I used to speak it daily in an earlier (much earlier) career and studied the language a fair amount in college. It's a beautiful language and concise with its closed vowels; very musical too.

So......

Que nos ofresque sus poemas lo mas pronto que sea posible.
 
Funny you should say because there is a Peruvian-American guy who used to submit some very good poems here, and I felt that sort of Neruda/Lorca/Paz-type Latin romanticism come across strongly in his writing. His user name is poetboy824. If you check out his poems you'll see what I mean.

I miss seeing new poems from him. He's very good, imo.

I think Chilean teenage boys still recite Neruda to their girls as if it's their own work. :)

I would.

I would.

And I would swoon if my boyfriend did. Actually eagleyez gave me a Neruda anthology a few years ago, so I can make that reading happen. :D
 
I'll dig mine out

It'll take me awhile going into very old files to find my Spanish material but I'll persevere

Which Star Trek did you watch??? balls on the forehead sounds very interesting! More accessible, if that's your taste. :cool:
Any Voyager episode will do ... Nelix has Penis-nose throughout and all other incoming aliens seem to have little balls hanging from their foreheads. It's all very kinky combined with 7 of 9's - well - snug and well-fitting Star Fleet issued uniform. :devil:

Musta been snug if their balls got so squeezed they popped out up there!!!:D
 
So you want Spanish poetry. Here's a classic to sink your teeth into:

----Primero es abrazalla y retozalla,
y con besos un rato entretenela.
Primero es provocalla y encendella,
después luchar con ella y derriballa.
----Primero es porfiar y arregazalla,
poniendo piernas entre piernas della.
Primero es acabar esto con ella,
después viene el deleite de gozalla.
----No hacer, como acostumbran los casados,
más de llegar y hallarla aparejada,
de puro dulce, creo, de dentera.
----Han de ser los contentos deseados;
si no, no dan placer ni valen nada;
que no hay quien lo barato comprar quiera.

Olé. :cool:
 
Here's one Lauren should remember because she edited it for me. :)

La luna desnuda

Si mi olvida
Quiero que sepos una cosa
Que viste morir y nacer

Porque ahora
Y no sabes que hacer
Con la luna desnuda

Sabio que todo vuelve mi boca
Mi patria o mi piedra fresca
Siguire vivo

OK ...
First the .. damn hard words ... y = and, and damn this is too much complex Spanish for me. I can make out words, but my reading of it would look like a meteor hit it...
 
I can't remember my Spanish very well, but here goes...

Si te miro
Me diras de cierar los ojos?
Si te toco
Me diras que mis manos
No tienen permiso por acarezarte?
Si te quiero
Me quemaras el corazon?
De rodillas, de rodillas
No te quedes ahi
Dejandome sola
Con este fuego.
 
Hot, Mireille. I am just learning Spanish, but I think I got about 90% of that (with a little help from babel fish).

LA GUARDIA CIVIL



By jpdonleacy © 2004, all rights reserved



Viene, viene, la guardia civil

sus caballos rompen la noche

grita, grita la luna en el cielo

tomando a su pecho los nubes



huyen, huyen las bandurrias





TRANSLATION





They come, they come, la guardia civil

their horses crushing the night



It cries, it cries, the

moon in the sky

clasping the clouds to its breast



They flee, they flee,

the bandits



-30-



Notes:



In Spain under Franco, the Guardia Civil/Civil Guard was notorious for its ruthlessness
 
Mice work, Mireille:)

Here's another:

has anyone noticed how handsome the guardia are? is it something in the job description i.e must be incredibly chiselled and phawwwwww ?
 
You must have seen some different Guardia. Last time I was in Spain, the ones I got looked like Zorro characters: fat with a tiny moustache and dozing off against a wall...
 
Ah Vastedad de Pinos

Ah vastedad de pinos, rumor de olas quebrándose,
lento juego de luces, campana solitaria,
crepúsculo cayendo en tus ojos, muñeca,
caracola terrestre, en ti la tierra canta!

En ti los ríos cantan y mi alma en ellos huye
como tú lo desees y hacia donde tú quieras.
Márcame mi camino en tu arco de esperanza
y soltaré en delirio mi bandada de flechas.

En torno a mí estoy viendo tu cintura de niebla
y tu silencio acosa mis horas perseguidas,
y eres tú con tus brazos de piedra transparente
donde mis besos anclan y mi húmeda ansia anida.

Ah tu voz misteriosa que el amor tiñe y dobla
en el atardecer resonante y muriendo!
Así en horas profundas sobre los campos he visto
doblarse las espigas en la boca del viento.

Pablo Neruda
