There are many native English speakers here, most of us can offer great suggestions to the English sentences. I will do my best to go through them all, too. For the Spanish sentences, edit your posts according to the native Spanish speakers suggestions. Use today's Word of the Day in your own Spanish sentence (and include the English translation as well). Try to use the word in a completely new way and vote on the sentences you like best. The winner will be chosen based upon the correct use of the word as well as the number of votes.

Guidelines:

Write sentences at least 5 words long, but don't write a paragraph either. Write your Spanish sentence, but include the English translation as well. Make the corrections suggested by other users and moderators in the comments section (try not to use personal pronouns unless absolutely necessary). Use your own words! (Don't use a translator, copy from a book, use song lyrics, etc.) Please keep political, religious or personal statements to a minimum. This is a practice game.

Wow! You outdid yourself with this one. I love it!! - rac1, Mar 2, 2017
Thanks, amigos. I always love you two for always being there with nice comments. ♥♥ I notice on graphics that are landscape oriented that the image is quite small. Still looks good, just wish it could fill out the screen. - Sassette, Mar 2, 2017
The graphic is lovely and plenty large enough on my screen. :-) - AnnRon, Mar 2, 2017

Para mí los paisajes rocosos son muy interesantes , pero poco acogedores y no querría vivir allí.

For me the rocky landscapes are very interesting but uninviting and I would not want to live there.

When the ebbing tide retreats

Along the rocky shoreline

It leaves a trail of tidal pools

In a short-lived galaxy

Each microcosmic planet

A complete society

A simple kind of mirror

To reflect upon our own

All the busy little creatures

Chasing out their destinies

Living in their pools

They soon forget about the sea…

Wheels within wheels in a spiral array

A pattern so grand and complex

Time after time we lose sight of the way

Our causes can’t see their effects

Cuando la marea menguante se baja

A lo largo de la costa rocosa

Deja atrás un reguero de pozas

En una galaxia efímera

Cada planeta microcósmico

Una sociedad completa

Un tipo simple de espejo

Para reflejar lo nuestro

Todas las criaturas simples ocupadas

Que persiguen sus destinos

Viviendo en sus pozas

Rápidamente se les olvida el mar

Ruedas dentro de ruedas en un patrón de espiral

Un patrón tan grande y complejo

Una y otra vez se nos olvida la manera en la que

Nuestras causas no pueden prever sus efectos

The Irish landscape painted a perfect picture of rolling hills, rocky formations, bleating sheep, emerald-green grass, and the ocean glistening in the distance.

El paisaje irlandés pintado un cuadro perfecto de colinas, formaciones rocosas, ovejas balando, hierba de color verde esmeralda y el océano que brilla en la distancia.
