Sometimes I like to write things in Spanish in order to unleash another creative part of my brain. Here is one such poem, or obra:

Tu miedo es una mierda,

Existes como conejo,

Sobreviviendo, no viviendo.

Bueno.

Yo soy un perro,

Te muerdo,

Conejo,

Con tu miedo

De mierda.

It translates, more or less, to:

Your fear is shit,
You exist like a rabbit,
Surviving, not living.
Fine.
I am a dog,
I bite you,
Rabbit,
With your fear
That’s shitty.

Feel free to correct my grammar if you’re a Spanish speaker.

Do you like to write in a second language? Let me know in the comments what the experience is like for you.

If supporting writers is on your agenda, why not become a Medium member? I receive a wee commission, and your praises soon I’ll be a-whistlin’.
