@minnie As requested, here's my next salvo in the #TeddyBearWars

@drxvi @joannasays @josefkonrad @albertopastor @robertov @hereforthepopcorn @VeeHappened60 Who's up for some #Poetry analysis? Machado's last line here confounds me. He goes from road to sea.

My Spanish is rusty - I think it's supposed to be "un poema para ti" @minnie @joannasays but do carry on.

Joanna and I look forward to your Flamenco bear.

I take it that unlike you, Mr. Martin was at work doing something productive. Hence, this solo effort. I did understand "Hola Minnie."
As for the last line, please allow me to point out that YOU HAVE A FUCKING PhD in Spanish literature, so you should know what the ship refers to.

BA actually. PhD was for something totally different.

But I did add English after the Spanish so you could understand.

Ship has sailed? Machado went from the plains to the sea in the last line? Hmmmm....

SO: Mr Martin was out in the woods gathering honey.

This suggests there are some polyglots among us. So what languages do we speak/understand (to some degree) or do we hope to learn?
Know: English, French, German
Swearing: Greek
Hope: Spanish, Japanese

Cuban Spanish, a little Portuguese, a little Moroccan Arabic. Those 2 just because I always try to learn enough to get by when I travel. Used to have some Bahasa Melayu/Indonesian but too long ago.
Want to learn? More of all of the above, except Spanish and English :-0
