No. 6 - Everyone does not need to be 李白 or 杜甫 to compose a poem

Poem is a part of literature and literature is boring, according to my personal opinions. There are some exceptional cases, of course.

In my senior high school, we learned many patriotic poets who used their gifted talent in literature as sharp weapons to fight against enemies.

My most favorite poem is "Tay Tien" written by Quang Dung. Here are some lines that I can still remember:

Rải rác biên cương mồ viễn xứ 

Chiến trường đi chẳng tiếc đời xanh 

Áo bào thay chiếu anh về đất 

Sông Mã gầm lên khúc độc hành 

The poem does not have English translation, moreover, I believe the English version if available can not convey completely the greatness of the poem.

One of the factors contributes to the fantasy of a poem is the ability to connect reality with imagination. For example:

Good girl: In my Humi class, the teacher always requires is to do free writing to clear our minds before class gets started. Then, we usually finish with composing a poem.

Bad girl: Sound like he focuses a lot on writing.

Good girl: Yeah. He wants us to become a better writer, a stronger thinker, and a more critical reader.

 GREEN

What if I tell you

The color I like?

Will you buy me

Anything with that color?

It can be very expensive

Like diamond

But it can also be

A cheap hightlighter

You always ask me

Why I like green apple milk tea?

With pearl

Now you know the reason

Everything with green

Make me fall in love

Even it is a traffic light

There is one secret

That I never told you

Your green eyes

Drive me cray

Everytime I look at it.
