Poem Of The Day #7
Love is often unequal; affection always differs. The loving complains of the unloving; the heartfelt bemoans the heartless. Feelings have no reason; life has no cure. Do I believe in happy ending even if I know what the ending is like? It sounds naive if I say I do; it sounds cynical if I say … Continue reading Poem Of The Day #7 →
Poem Of The Day #6
Dreary day, endless rain, everywhere dark and wet. At intervals, the sky brightens up, but a mist lingers, a haze hovers in the cool sauna of the saturated air. I should have prepared for the rainy day, but I didn’t. Now I went to the store grudgingly, made a wrong turn, almost lost my way. … Continue reading Poem Of The Day #6 →
Poem Of The Day #4

Still love feels unfinished.
Poem Of The Day #1

Colorful And Perilous
She’s an incorrigible gambler, an incessant drinker, a perpetual presence in local parties, a lover of fine clothes and gossips. She sounds like a typical college girl of the 21st century, except that she lived almost exactly one thousand years ago. Yes, it is true that history repeats itself and the same kind of women … Continue reading Colorful And Perilous →
Haiku: Snowy Day
Little flakes of festivityfalling softly, silently, gently,hold trees, rooftops, cars in frosty embrace. “Downy ecstasy”, “silver sunlight”, “wedding cake”,analogies effuse, admiration abounds,I have to agree. But I can’t help thinking aboutdirty road edges, parking lots with brownish mountain piles,not going away for another two weeks.
