Euphoric hope spills
from my eyes gleaming with love,
ambrosial shaman enchants
aching sobs of my son;
I see him next to my body.
This poem has been written using the Wayra poetry form. The Wayra (Quechua - wind ) is a popular verse form of Peru and Bolivia. It appears it originated in an indigenous Quechua language but has found its way into Spanish literature. It is a short syllabic verse of 5 non-rhyming lines with the syllable count from lines 1 to 5 being 5,7,7,6,8 respectively. The last line contains an element of surprise.
