Friendship
Two pipes are filling a pool.
If the first one works two hours,
it fills a third of the pool.
The second can fill it on its own in three hours.
How many hours would it take –
for both pipes together –
to fill with verdancy
the pool of Spring.

Nice to see translations here!
That is quite the question to ponder. I love it.
love the word “verdancy”
A math word problem!
I, too, am glad to see translations and to be exposed to other poets!
Filling a pool with Spring essence! Charming notion!
