My poem:
Me gusta practicar deportes.
Me gusta comer.
Me gusta correr.
Me gusta patinar.

 

Anhelo Su Boca, Su Voz, Su Pelo

Anhelo su boca, su voz, su pelo.
Silencioso y muerto de hambre, rondo a trav�s de las calles.
El pan no me alimenta, amanecer me interrumpe,
yo busca todo el dia para la medida l�quida de sus pasos.

Tengo hambre de su risa lisa, sus manos el color de una cosecha salvaje, hambre para las piedras p�lidas de sus u�as,
yo deseo comer su piel como una almendra entera.

Deseo comer el rayo de sol que se�ala por medio de luces en su cuerpo encantador, la nariz soberana de su cara arrogante,
yo deseo comer la cortina ef�mera de sus latigazos,

y establezco el paso alrededor de hambriento, oliendo el crep�sculo,
caza para usted, para su coraz�n caliente,
como un puma en los barrens de Quitratue.

I really can't pick out any words. I just like the way the words flow together when I attempt to say them in spanish. I really don't know why the squares are in the words. It won't let me take them out...sorry!
