I wrote this in Spanish I hope you guys don't mind: SIREN: Es verdad lo que dicen Eres una sirena. Yo tendra cuidado contigo Es verdad lo que dicen ¡Mi flor venenosa! ¡Mulatta peligrosa! Y el que te sigue, se ahoga. |

It sounds beautiful when read out loud Jose, ... can you translate for me just for fun, I don't speak Spanish (Canadian here ... French is my second language on this end)? I'd love to see the English cross-over! Best wishes, /Kit |

Jose~this poem is wonderful, and while I do speak spanish, I'm not fluent and still have much to learn. I can catch the general jist of it by what I know, but I think if you could do your best to do a translation it would help me to capture the essence of it! I know that translating will take away a littl from the poem as nothing can be translated perfectly, but if you could try it would be great!! thanks!

At your requests, here's a rough translation of my poem: SIREN: It's true what they say. You are a mermaid I'll be careful around you It's true what they say Poisonous flower! Dangerous mulatto! He who folows you, Drowns |

I loved this poem as well. It seems as though have been doing this for a while. I loved the poem in Spanish, just wished I could have understood it. It was beautiful in English too. I hope you keep this up. Luv always, Michelle "True friends stab you in the front" |

Thank you all for the responses. I'm glad you like the poem. Thanks for taking the time to try it in Spanish. I regret to inform you that a lot was lost in the translation. I hope you still enjoy the English version. |
