Outside Qingming

Storing many years of waiting Gambling with my neighbors I bet my descendants will team up to come This year they won’t miss Nurtured in my arms, my children will bring baskets a vintage, a fresh food After the sun awoke up Moss-paved paths rang Oh, my heart bounced eagerly (The sun skewed…) Gripped by thousands of my yearn I saw tides come and go Burning swiftly, the ghost of money was temptation; was grey happiness Scattered over my neighbors’ chest where weeds were pulled out Rowed out from my veins My children didn’t come Shards of rain seemed to cry •Qingming Festival is the East Asian lunar holiday . it usually begins around 4 or 5 April and ends around 20 April. Dduring these days, relatives gather in graveyard to worship their ancestor.

H.Y. FU, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
