Poem by Liu Pei Hua



今天的我

Today, I’m gonna be a hermit

今天的我
只想做一个隐士
朝阳,落日
尽属我一人
世界喧嚣依旧
而我,独处在一个人的桃花源

今天的我
只想做一个隐士
读书,妄想
皆是我一人
柳絮漂于水中
而我,徜徉在一个人的梦幻海洋

今天的我
只想做一个隐士
喜悦,烦恼
皆与我无关
静静坐在岸边
终于,我看到一朵花的微笑。


Yesterday, I went for a walk alone. I sat on the bank of LongHu for a couple of hours just gazing into space. I thought about my life, my dream and my future. Then when I came back, I wrote this free verse. It’s lame, um, but I still hope that you will like it!


Here is a poem for you!

丑奴儿

辛弃疾()

少年不识愁滋味,
爱上层楼,爱上层楼,
为赋新词强说愁。
而今识得愁滋味,
欲说还休,欲说还休,
却道天凉好个秋



I am today
Just want to be a hermit
Sunrise, sunset
One is I do
Noise is still the world
And I, alone in a person's paradise

I am today
Just want to be a hermit
Reading, delusions
Are one of my
Catkins floating in the water
And I, and wandering around in a sea of ​​people dream

I am today
Just want to be a hermit
Joy, worry
Are nothing to do with me
Quietly sat by the bank
Finally, I saw a flower smile.

Ugly slave children
Ji (Song)

Youth do not know real depression,
Love upper floor, love the top floor,
Write poetry that worry.
Now know was real depression,
Unspoken, Unspoken,
But Road
天凉好个秋
