Poetry!

Thanks to Ev and Tiggy for sharing their view about melancolic feelings.
Before even though I like melancolic poems which also describe nature, I have been
a little bit annoyed thinking that one shouldn´t project one´s feelings on nature, because every
being in nature has it´s own feelings. But now I see it another way, if you´re sad you can feel comforted
if you feel that your environment sympathize with you. Sympathic really.

Anyway here is an example of the kind of poems I like to read.

My soul, it is like an orphan bog
with an eternal sound of sobbing
like the chilly weeping of falling rain
on the road that crosses that bogland.

Vourela 1925, translator unknown

And here is an example of my personal poetry.

Climatic view on mires. 29th of August 1999.

Cool winds, falling rain
the people in the houses start to complain,
such ignorance complete,
they have not been suffering from dryness and heat.
As I did in Spain...
I realised I prefer cool winds and rain,
because I know they are good for you,
because I see you the way I do.
I missed you while I was away,
now I´m back, back to stay.
because where you are, it´s good for me too,
that´s what you tell me, I know it´s true.
I simply enjoy being with you.

( A los españoles que veasen esto, he aprendido muchismo durante los 5 meses
que pasó en España durante el año pasado, pero no estoy hecha para vivir con el clima mediterraneo.)
I simply enjoy being with you.
