Viviana and Joana make an amazing proposal of micro poetry in: en3palabras; their motto is to create dialogue through poetry, through micro poetry.
La micro poesía es universal.
Es un pensamiento colectivo, se pasea, se exhibe, se comparte. Es un bocadito de arte.
Son pequeñas rimas de lo cotidiano, se combina, se mueve, se genera a cada instante.
Es una manera de promover comunicación sutilmente… hablando se entiende la gente.
… se convierte así en una filosofía de vida: espontánea, transparente, atrevida.
I suggest visiting their site to see what micro poetry is. I’m sure once you’ll have tasted it, you’ll love it. I invite you to try it out and share your poems!

The following poem is a very interesting one. I think it expresses gracefully the process of learning a new language, how you may feel when you go through this never-ending path. I hope you enjoy it. You can share your feelings, emotions or thoughts.
Learning a language
is like doing a jigsaw puzzle
of a million pieces
with a picture that keeps changing.
It’s like getting lost in a foreign city
without a map.
It’s like playing tennis without a ball,
like being an ant in a field of grasshoppers.
It’s being an acrobat with a broken leg,
an actor without a script,
a carpenter without a saw,
a storyteller without a middle or an end.
But then gradually
it’s like being out in the early morning
with the mist lifting.
It’s like a chink of light under a door,
like finding the glove you were looking for,
catching the train you thought you were going to miss,
getting an unlooked-for present,
exchanging a smile.
And then one day it’s like riding a bicycle
very fast downhill.

I have come across this poem in the British Council website (Learning English).

Hi to all of you who are taking the time to be reading here. This is my first blog and obviously it’s the first page I write. Could I say I welcome myself to the blogosphere? Maybe not, since I’m not used to stroll around blogs; well to be honest I’ve been strolling for the last five days. Not much, isn’t it?
I’m an English teacher and I’ve been teaching for almost … Well, I don’t know. I think I’ve always taught English, even when I was at school and my classmates asked me some questions. My first contact with the English language was when I was five, very early at that moment, since almost nobody considered foreing languages necessary. But thankfully, my mother has always had a very futurist sight of things and decided I had to learn English, as well as French, instead of devoting my free time to dress up my dolls.
Anyhow, I must admit that my launch into the communicative area did not happen until I went for the first time to Ireland at the age of fifteen. Looking back at that time and recovering some flashes from my memory, I see how interesting and important is to go abroad as soon as it is possible. So here is my recommendation: “Don’t miss up a second and take a low-cost flight to … “
Well my dear learners, welcome to this path through learning. I hope this might be of use for you.
