Love by Anonymous
This sonnet is an interesting view on the struggles of love, and leaves you with a heart-less message. The spelling and capitalization is notably divergent from the grammatically correct, and this leads to some deeper probing in the word choice.
Naturaleza by Anonymous
Nature
Natural like a purity
Simple you are a beauty
You give all the best of your harmony
But, we are satisfied with
Your peace and happiness
From your fruits-colors and life
That you share days and nights
That brilliant color Orange
That erupts from your beautiful
mountains Green full of life
from which the birds sing
the lizards come out of their burrows
the fish jump into their
beautiful waters in which
we can appreciate something natural
that is reflected in various colors
protected by your surroundings
there is no end! It only gets dark
the color of
that burning light ends on a journey
coming out of a quiet solitude and constant
nothing ends it only
repeats itself. Overlooked
in between dark shrubs
the chirp of some grasshoppers
around us we can hear
and in those beautiful waters
a reflection of light we can appreciate
around us brilliant
points we can appreciate
but the sounds vary
they are the tadpoles that sing
their harmony to the water that
continues being a natural today.
About the author: The author is the youngest student in the class, and has insightful thoughts to add to class. He is a bit shy and requires coaxing in class, though. Rough translation by Rey.
