Alphabe Thursday … Z is for Zelando
November 5, 2015
Zelando o solo ele da
No mais longínquo sertão
A terra se torna fértil
Para quaiquer plantação
Com abundância da água
conclima do nosso chão
Ensuring the soil of it
In the far hinterland
The land becomes fertile
Any extra for planting
With plenty of water
on the surface of the land.
I understand little of this last verse in my Dicionario Brasileiro de literatura de cordel … happy days

Shhh, I won’t tell. I think we have a secret
Hinterland, though okay now in English, has a German origin.
Your poem portrays hope, generally the best agricultural land sort of hides, away from the coasts. Typically in the river valleys and surrounding plains. I think of Armageddon area of Israel, it is often called the ‘bread basket.’

This comment was … like a poem … Thank you xxx
It’s an interesting passage. To me, it sounds like the writer appreciates that farming is being done.
Yes me to … something I as a town girl take so for granted xxx.
Either you’re a week early or I’m a week late!
No you are right … happily I am in a kind environment Unfortunately, ‘Y’ doesn’t feature in the Portuguese alphabet so shall have to be reliant on inventiveness!! Love to Betty and yours xx
