Here we are with another poem, in this case mini-expressions, fragments of popular songs or sayings.
If you feel curiosity to read the Poem #18 you can read it here:
It looks like my idea of Trump-bulary makes easy to find images of those popular expressions. This is the third Trumk-bulary (Trompa-bulario) playing with words in popular expressions, fragments of songs and …..
Spanish Version
Trompa-bulario (Continuación: 8, 9, and 10 de 10 mini-expresiones de la sección Trompa-bulario)
8. Palabras voladoras
“Cucurrucucúuuu, cucurrucucúuuu Paloma
Cucurrucucúuuuuuu no llores”’
9. Palabras que duelen (continuando la misma canción):
¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay cantabaaaa!

¡Ay ay ay aaaayaaay, Paloma, ya no me dejes!:

The Experiment
This section I titled “Trunk-bulary” (or “Trompa-bulario” in Spanish), which consists of mini-sentences and fleeting phrases I captured in the moment. I wanted to rework them with a distinct Mexican cultural flavor.
By the way, the idea I get about to develop this kind of mini-expressions in an extended format are going to accumulating in my notes.
The idea of playing with the meaning of cultural expressions in a short enunciation as a kind of words. Well, the idea is there walking and taking notes every time I get something in my mind.
This last part for the first idea of Trump-bulary made me to revisit the song Cucurrucucú Paloma and to listen several times. I confese it moves me something inside.
So, I named a set of words around Cucurrucucú Paloma (dove) as Flying words.
Here are the last three of ten mini-expressions from the series:
As I have mentioned before — I am surprised with the result from AI for the illustration, I was expecting to get something not related with the idea of these mini-poems, as I was after no more illustrations. The AI applied till Poem 16, I didn’t feel I needed it for the section of Trompa-bulario: Poem 17, 18 and 19.
As it is about popular expressions, there are always something over google, thanks to google for the help.
Now, out of Mexico it sound as a fresh way to be there, to retake the songs and to listen once and once and once.
I am still thinking about the experiment of selling a version with no images. I am getting the idea to sell my +50 poems in Spanish without illustrations.
For now, my mini-expressios for the section Trompa-bulario is finished.
I am keeping the seeds for more...It gave me the seed to continue writing expression with the same idea of playing with the ‘kind’ of words according to the evocation.
Blessing reading for everyone — and for holding space for these small, searching into a dream!
Note:
1)
Here you have one of the best versions I found about Cucurrucucú Paloma. It's in Spanish but you can feel how nice it sounds: Cucucurrucucú Paloma

2) In a commentary they say this passage which made me think How many other stories very interesting should be with this song.
En un comentario cuentan esta historia que me hizo pensar en cuántas otras situaciones super-interesantes habrá con esta canción:
