1118 Spanish Haikus

Spanish is very similar to Latin (from which it is derived) and Italian consequently Spanish Haikus also have an excellent 'voice' due to the vowel endings. Again I included some literal translations into English.

SOLO Y CANSADO
PERO TRAS LA VENTANA BRILLA LA NIEVE

Alone and tired
But behind the window
The snow sparkles

DOCENAS DE PALOMAS
ALDREDOR DE UN MENDIGO
Y UN TROZO DE PAN

Dozens of pigeons
Around a beggar
An a piece of bread

UNOS PAJARITOS
POSADAS EN LA ALFEIZAR
MIRAN LA BAILARINA

Little birds perched
On the window-sill
Watching the Ballerina
