As part of our That's So Miami poetry project running during the month of April, we have been airing select submissions from our community of listeners and readers.
In fact, serendipity struck today during one of these pre-recording sessions. One of our contributing poets, Christine Armario of Miami, brought her abuelo, Manuel Armario, who wrote a poem too. Go ahead and read them. Hers is in English; his, Spanish.
Two poems, two languages, two generations; one family: That’s So Miami.
Walking to the beach
With my post-cancer pixie cut
A viejito whispers
No matter what they say
Estás bella.
That's so Miami.
***
Miami Beach es muy lindo
Y el whiskey muy sabrosón
Pero yo siempre prefiero
El muro del Malecón
That's so Miami.
