Aufräumen

Aufräumen und Wegwerfen

Chaos

Chaos und Wegwerfen

Chaos und Aufräumen und Wegwerfen und

might be something like this in English (being German, I have not really an idea if it sounds ok in English, as always: I just try):



chaos

chaos and cleaning

cleaning

cleaning and removing

chaos

chaos and cleaning and removing and

a song



This poetry form called "Avenida" consists of 4 words which are arranged like this:

###

### and ---

---

--- and ===

###

### and --- and === and

a(n) ***

avenidas
avenidas y flores

flores
flores y mujeres

avenidas
avenidas y mujeres

avenidas y flores y mujeres y
un admirador
