Maradona's hand of plenty



In the beginning of this year I published a collection of haiku poems, | Haiculdesac |.

One haiku was dealing with Diego Maradona's "hand of God" in 1986; mixing a famous line from a poem by J.L. Runeberg and in a way, Michelangelo's painting The Creation of Adam. 

"Translating" my haiku into English could be a little bit like this:

Maradona's painting ball

That shot knew where to
hit. Diego the player gave
God a human hand.

The original haiku...

MARADONAS MÅLNING

Den kulan visste
var den tog. Diego gav
Gud en mänsklig hand.
