Décima de Pena | Decima of Shame. A 5-Minute Freewrite

This was my entry to @mariannewest and @latino.romano’s 5 Minute Freewrite: Tuesday Prompt: festival. You can see the details here.

Décimas de Pena

Un festival de miseria
nos inunda día a día.
Luz no veo en la lejanía
todo se vuelve una feria.

Entre virus y bacteria
no se ven buenas opciones.

Pa’ luego las soluciones
cuatro letras es la pena.
Ya está bueno e cuarentena,
que vienen las elecciones.

Gracias por la visita.

Decima of Shame


Gloom festival’s in the air
flooding us despite resistance.
Light I don’t see in the distance;
everything becomes a fair.

Between viruses and bacteria
what good option have we got.

Solutions they offer naught;
just a few letters in shame.
Quarantine’s enough to blame.
Elections here, ready or not.

Make sure you visit the Freewrite House!!!
