Happy Cinco de Mayo



A poem--Cinco de Mayo--by Francisco Alarcón

una batalla
en los libros
de historia

una fiesta
de música
y colores

una ocasión
para agitar
banderas

un baile
con piropos
y piñata

orchata
tostaditas
y guacamole

un mango
con chile
y limón

un grito
de alegría
y primavera

¡sí, ya mero
salimos
de vacaciones!


a battle
in some
history books

a fiesta
of music
and colors

a flag
waving
occasion

a flirting
dance
and a piñata

orchata
corn chips
and guacamole

a mango
with some chile
and limon

a cry
of joy
and spring

yes, summer
vacation is just
around the corner!
