It is five o’ clock in the morning. I've been awake since three. I’m tired but I cannot sleep any more so I’m going to write some words.
Just now, there is a little bird singing. Every time I hear it, I remember Romeo and Juliet’s dialog after their first love night “Es el ruiseñor(nightingale) no la alondra(lark or skylark)”….I’m going to search this dialog in English because it could be a good exercise, a good reading exercise, besides it is the original language of Romeo and Juliet.
Is the Shakespeare’s language easy to read? I have no idea and I’ m going to check up on it…some day.
I like this bird because it makes me feel less alone and it’s a sign the night is ending and obviously a new day is coming. Let me tell you that when you are awake all night without nothing to do, the night becomes endless. Probably, next day, it's going to be a sunny day or not, but for sure with people, not only the bird and me.
Now I realize, I really need to know if it is the nightingale o the lark who sings when the day is coming and which one of them sings in the middle of the night.
Ok I have an investigation to do. Bye
I found it! In a fantastic web “pájaros de nuestros campos”or "pájaros de España"www.usuarios.com/ib305742. Now, I am a little disappointed because I think the bird that is with me through the night is a blackbird(mirlo).
On that web, there are pictures of the birds, some of them with a real sound of birds singing.
I’m not like Romeo and Juliet
¡What a pity!
See you
Romeo & Juliet act 3 scene5
Juliet
"Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day.
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fear-full hollow of thine ear.
Nightly she sings on yon pom'granate tree.
Believe me, it was the nightingale.
Romeo
it was the lark, the herald of the morn,
no nightingale. Look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east.
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stand tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
.........
Done. Very nice.

Hi there Butterfly!
Yes, at that time I was sleeping but I didn't get up that late.
I understand the time and your condition when you were writing but why don't you check the names of the birds in English? It'd be a more complete text. Don't you think?
Do so and I'll come back to you with fewer comments.
Niece piece, but read it again once you are not in the middle of the night and try to improve it.
Beautiful simile. It is funny when moments of your life reminds you a book or a film. Or even better, when you think, about something is happening to you: that could be a book/film piece. Do you have this feeling?
jejejejeje
I like your "Caray!" with instructions (read it with mexican-american accent, please)
:)
Thank you too, for giving your opinion about changes. I'm glad you like my words because you share some thoughts, that means we are not as alone as we sometimes think. You know, when someone has a mess in her/his head and usually thinks that she/he is the only person in the world with this kind of problem. We see that's not truth!
