(My mongrel, Tutti)

Há quem tente atribuir
pedigree aos poetas,
mas a verdade cruel
é que somos todos
uns vira-latas sarnentos.
Devemos nossos latidos
e uivos poéticos à comichão.

Some people try to attribute
pedigree to poets,
but the cruel truth
is that we're all scabby mongrel dogs.
We owe our poetical barking and howling
to the itching.

    Já eu costumo dizer que todos nós somos poetas e vivemos contando nossas histórias de uma forma leve e que leve alegria e reflexão!

    Boa semana Kenia. Amplexo

  5. If you liked it then I'm happy. That's how I feel sometimes, when I meet people that think they can write better poetry than the others, and I don't mean me. Poetry is the voice of the soul, each one has its own and it's not our place to judge.

    Love to you, my dearest ones!
