POETRY
Poetry Road
—POEM by Lee Kuei-shien
(Translated from Mandarin)
Poetry road
is a new path,
The traffic
from you to me.
Along the road
there are larks singing.
In the air
there are swallows flying.
Among the forests
there are orchids blooming.
What strange enough is
the fig,
its fruits directly growing
on the trunk,
without passing the flowering stage.
Ah, that is the poetry!
On the road
I find
Love.

(Self-translation
from MANDARIN)
