Upon Harriet Island
--Composed on Earth Day, April 22, 2007

Embellished with sailing kites
calm and serene the azure sky.
Blue, the Mississippi River;
green, the budding twigs.
The sun, the breeze,
the earthy smells and flowers.
Loons dive and pop up;
birds mate and take off.

If anyone asks,
"How many more springs?”
I answer:
Over the bamboo groves
wind chimes tinkle; from our
Mother Earth resound
the voices of many
to the wild blue yonder--
I dream…
I wish…
I promise…
…

I particularly like your mix of visual imagery with sound elements.
Well-tempoed too.

Thanks 星子.

Just wanted to make our Mother Earth proud, did I accomplish it?

Hey, Lake,

Don't be fooled by a few jargons that unwittingly popped out.

I was an English major a long long time ago, so that's quite irrelevant now.

Cheers.

anna,

I admire your spirit.

Literature was my first love, but I changed career later, for practical reason.
I've also always wanted to go back for more study, but just never had the time and extra energy.

Now, I am content in spending my free time writing, when I can. Finding time to read is a luxury.

take care.

ZY

这是参加“地球日”活动时拍的一幅书法。我称它为“中英书法”，英文字母赋予中文字形。谁感性趣猜猜看，写的是什么？ Very Happy

呵呵，忍不住了，给些 hint 吧。

对老外来说，小菜一碟；对识中文字的我们来说直挠头皮。

前两个字是 whishes for ...
后两个应该容易了... Very Happy
