I would like to thank everyone for showing support for my poetry. Some say that no one reads poetry anymore, but evidently that is not the case. In the two months since I started my poetry blog, it has had more than three thousand visits. The top ten countries from which the visits have come are the US, Uruguay, Germany, UK, Chile, Spain, Ireland, Argentina, Canada, and India. The blog has also had visits from Poland, Italy, Venezuela, Guatemala, Turkey, Colombia, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Sweden, Norway, the Ukraine, Bulgaria, Belarus, Mexico, and other countries. Thanks again, and I hope you will continue to enjoy my poetry blog.

QUATRAINS DE NOSSA SENHORA XCVIII - C

CXVIII.
Quando dominan os últimos,
faltarán os primeros,
poder de espiritistas,
bailadores, y ganaderos.

When the last dominate,
the first will fail.
power of spiritualists,
dancers, and ranchers.

XCIX.
A estos se agreguen
pescadores y putas,
quando serán os poetas
os más astutos.

To these may be added
fishers and whores,
when poets will be
the most astute.

C.
O principio va ser
igual que su fin,
nada que perder
y escasso el win.

The beginning will be
the same as its end,
nothing to lose,
and little to win.
