酷我-北美枫

[anna]

This morning,
too many sad poems--
your hair grows grey,
I am certain.

I do not have a mirror
that long and wide,
I do have dandelions
eager to fly.

Suppose spring melts the snow
and the spaces,
Still icicles fill another
crystal dream.

last night,
watching them cry,
my shadow turned slimmer.

----

晨起,
忧伤的诗歌满目
你的头发又白了些许,
我如此确定.

我并没有一面镜子
如此宽广.
我仅有一手蒲公英
急切欲飞.

设想春天积雪融化,
路途不再遥远,
那些小小冰凌
仍然填满一个个
水晶的梦.

昨晚,
看着它们垂泣,
我的影子越发细长.

I enjoyed 1st paragraph most, light-hearted, with a bit of irony.
The contrast in paragraph 2 was nicely put.
Cheers.

Thanks ZY.

I guess few people really understand the whole poem.

I always like to put some puzzle in it.

To give a clue:

Dandelion

They say you have an umbrella,
to fly freely.
But when I look through it,
I know they are your grey hairs.
I cannot blow them away
or take them out.
I can only ask you again and again:
"Why do you wait so long,
so long to take off?"


I like to put similar images together...(icicle & dandelion..yet opposite) to bring more imagination...
