Rhymes, couplets, brief verses. English and Spanish
Call them bite-sized poems. Call it Internet poetry. I plan to post some mini-verses here. Feel free to post some of your own.
There is one rule here that does not apply anywhere else. Make it anything from a pithy commentary to a light-hearted rhyme, but it must be a couplet. 2 lines minimum, 4 lines maximum.
Feel free to post it in english or spanish.
Algunos los llaman "pequeños versos", otros "poesía de internet", planeo poner algunos mini-versos aca, animate a poner algunos de tu propia inspiración. 2 lineas como mínimo y 4 como máximo.
Siéntete libre de escribirla en inglés o español.

I agree with what Lazarus has said, but we also have to remember that being poor is different from not having any money. "I'm broke" can be "Me quedo sin plata," which both mean that I don't have any money right now. But "I'm poor" and "Soy pobre" definitely do refer to a longer-term state than being broke. And we also have to remember that in the past, it was even harder to change from being pobre to being part of the landed gentry. Upward mobility was not a prevalent concept a few hundred years ago. We can't apply our modern concepts to language usage that has been around for centuries.
