Tonto corazón

abandonándome.

Haiku: is a very short form of Japanese poetry typically characterised by three qualities:
- The essence of haiku is the juxtaposition of two images or ideas and a kireji ("cutting word") between them.
- Traditional haiku consist of 17 sylables in three phrases of 5, 7 and 5 on respectively.
- A kigo (seasonal reference), usually drawn from a saijiki, an extensive but defined list of such words. The majority of kigo, but notall, are drawn from the natural world. This, combined with the origins of haiku in pre-industrial Japan, has led to the inaccurate impression that haiku are necessarily nature poems

Despeinados, descalzos, ciegos.
Poem and illustration by Viviana Gomez - May 07, 2013

Juntos.
Escapemos juntos.
Que el viento intente detenernos de los cabellos,
que los dientes de león nos hagan zancadillas,
que el sol quiera cegarnos el camino.
No importa si estamos juntos.
Despeinados,
descalzos,
ciegos,
huyamos hacia el borde rugiente,
caigamos en nuestro abismo
juntos.
juntos.

Abrazos Prestados
¡Jamás volveré!
vine por mis abrazos
eran prestados...

The Fifth Chair is in France!
Story by Ivanna Lopez Gomez,12, based on the painting by Chris Van Allsburg, for a project in her school.
TITLE: The Seven Chairs CAPTION: “The fifth one ended up in France.” From the book: “ The Mysteries of Harris Burdick”
“It’s the fifth floating chair!” – said a man running out of the church. You could tell that he was traumatized just by looking at his face. It was all dirty as if he fell in dirt when he was running. He looked like he was crying out. He was too weak to make a tear. As he ran past me I could smell his sweat from running so fast. I went inside to see what was going on.
It was 1809. There had been a floating chair in 5 countries now. First was England. Then Spain. Then Germany. Then the United Stated. Now France.
As I was running inside the church, I heard millions of screams. I saw people running as if there was a horrible creature chasing them. I smelled the delicious food people dropped in fight. I tasted people anticipation to get out and mine to see what’s going on. I felt the wind coming from the church windows.
I stopped. I saw 2 men simply standing peacefully. Other then those 2 no one was there. I looked up. I saw a floating chair. But for the first time ever someone was sitting on the floating chair.
