TZEMIN ITION TSAI

THE PATH FULL OF PLUM BLOSSOMS

Travelers' steps are rushing as before

That ruthless late autumn was still gone away in a hurry

How could the autumn winds allow maple leaves residue?

When the reds were all faded

The drunk guests in blue robes won't wait for the white full of sky

There are countless plum blossoms

Little green fruits

Hiding in the leaves

Swallows flying

Green water around the country houses quietly

Calm was hard to be unruffled again

Crowds flocked to come

Blow up a mass of noises

No way to distinguish between drunk and awake

Except for the secret tears

Poincettia could only be disguised as an expanse of white snow

Under the high trees

Beauties played on the swings

White clothes, white clouds and white snowflakes

Laughter continually interrupted

Didn't allow the spring not to back

Unlimited reverie

Always like to say there are other fish

In the sea 

AMERICAN DREAM

One gust of white smoke

Forty years, in a twinkling of an eye, disappeared

Meet again after such a long separation

Two old but refused to be dull faces

Full of childish eyes like before

No any bit of stubble residue

The wrinkles are mixed with two white and black eyebrows

Talking always about the old topic

old

No longer being disguised

One bowl of rice porridge

With marinated cabbage

The tears in the corners of the eyes are damp

How is it compared to onion sauerkraut hot dogs?

My old friend in high school

Only rely on the Ph. D. certificate in chemical engineering

Set off into the America world

Accomplished both success and fame

Among us

Second to none

One parting

The plane will take off and land tomorrow

You will return to the other side of the Pacific

Point your hand straight to the Golden Trumpet-tree at the next door

Under the red tile roof is just the home of my parents

Why did it come this fall so not simply?

Those cicadas keep silence seems to be all dumb

That home in the other side of the Pacific is belong to my son and grandsons

But did not know why

I have never written a poem for it 

WHY THAT FLOWER IS NAGGING AT MY MIND

Gray house

With courtyard large and quiet

No one really knows how deep it is?

Willows along the pond

Raise a large piece of cloud

Like curtains with no end

One layer over the first layer

High officials and noble lords who came by horse carriages

One after the other

Looking far

Can't see the end of the road

When the street light is on

Night falls

Fine rain drifts in the wind

Heavy red gate

Blocking dusk entry

But also blocked the leakage of spring fulls in the air

Falling flowers ask with tears full in eyes

Who knows my heart?

The rain keep silent in the wind

Slowly

Fly to thousands of miles away
