On Poetry and Culture Shock

Smile

I don't read much poetry lately. Real life is getting in the way. So I take my volume of "25 Young Spanish Poets" (edited in 2003) and I open it at random until I find a very short poem. I don´t especifically look for a haiku but that's what I find. The author is called Carmen Jodra.

¿Por qué sonríes?
Porque hay sol en las hojas.
¿Por qué sonríes?

Why do you smile?
Because there's sun on the leaves.
Why do you smile?
