I love that you did this in Spanish and English! The repetition brings so many things to mind I love it! Water flowing, the pain La Llorona is forced to relive over and over, so awesome🖤
The million dollar question today… I think it’s because men wrote these tales to remind women that they’ll be punished if they don’t just accept men’s infidelity. Present company excepted of course, men back in the day were a different species, lol.
It helps to remember that these old stories were written down by men who just wanted to make women look monstrous and irrational… probably to make their own indiscretions seem minor in comparison.
La Llorona mata, mata, mata
La venganza vuela, vuela
La muerte bebe
The weeper kills kills kills
Vengeance soars and soars
Death drinks deep

Thanks, for this one maybe because of the subject matter I felt it in Spanish first.
Hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned; but why
Must the babes suffer?

You still hear stories today about women killing their children...it's a horrible thing. The weak are always vulnerable to the wicked...
What’s messed up is that about 500 kids a year are killed by their parents (US). Like 57% by fathers and 43% by mothers. Crazy.
Wow, that high! 😬
Yeah it’s so depressing.
Butchering The Knack...
I’m a little pretty one
My, my llorona
Possibly on of the most disturbing songs ever😅 Butchering is warranted😂
Lost love left her nothing to express
Life gone takes love to extreme.
To scream dissatisfaction on others.
Love all the alliteration🖤 Your poems always have such lovely flow.
"Here stands the weeper/No, no I couldn't keep her" (James & Bobby Purify).
Weird parallel, but this made me think of the “shrieker” in Brothers Karamozov.
La Llorona is a big deal here in New Mexico...
Oh I bet!
Is this old post May 2 or is it June 2?
😅Fixed it. It’s June.
Every one of them
Had enough of your likeness,
To earn, one ending.
This is tragic and beautiful, really well done🖤
