yawn·ing* earth stretch·es*
hung·ry waves de·vou·r land
sun will rise a·gain
This is my example of a traditional Japanese poem, called a haiku, which consists of three verses, with five, seven and five syllables each one, respectivelyy. Haikus reflect the spirituality of nature or daily life in a minimalist way. I dedicate the one above to Japan, and the one below to the Arab world.
de·sert winds shift* dunes
peace·ful rain drops* on cracked* ground
o·a·sis re·born
* yawning = bostezando, stretches = estira, drops = cae, shift = cambia, cracked = agrietado

Wow!! Your words are so warm that I sent them to Tatsuo. He said: "thank you so much!!!"
