Spring festival
Auspicious colours
Painting town red
Reunion dinner
Grand celebration
Hearts aligned
Homeward bound
To gather again
Good times come around
Joy sings
Spring chorus;
Familiar red packets
Laughing faces
Jolly feasting:
Memory subscribes
The “fu” character
Calligraphed on red papers
Ushering in the Chinese New Year
With luck and blessings
Sometimes words are pasted upside down
Fortelling luck and fortunes
Coming your way soon
Besides prayers
People pursue hopes and dreams
In their own ways
an incessant bore
he droned on and on and on …
where’s my gaffer tape!
Based on experience at our meal out last night – he dominated the conversation at our end of the table and then didn’t stop twittering on even during the talk on the Chinese New Year.

Chinese New Year
Spring hurls fine cheer
Custom works best
To forge fine fest
Red packet gifts
Watch cash uplift
Glimpses of smiles
As blessings style
Fond festive cheer
Draws each soul near
Fresh touch of spring
As joy now sings

Colorful ribbons
follow the woman’s movements.
I can almost see
floating rainbows.
Pale beauties unfurl
ivory hued fans.
I imagine
swan wings fluttering.
I chose both the ribbon dance and the fan dance for the Chinese New Year & Celebrations - Poetry Contest of Debbie Guzzi
Chinese New Year
Ushering in a brand new year
In the name of equality and democracy
Chinese worldwide are celebrating
globally
We invite you to join the happiness and the prosperity ahead
We pray for the world to become
peaceful and prosperous
Hopefully
We don't live alone
And we don't celebrate alone
And we don't pray alone
fields of bold daffodil bells
ring in the Chinese New Year
wealth and prosperity spread
from wild, yellow blooms
bright bells of distinction sway
a sweet fragrance on the breeze
tell of flowers bringing gold
a gift to behold

'I got a bad desire.
I'm on fire.'
Are either of us
sleeping tonight?"
"oh, oh, oh,
I'm on fire."
Keep up, babe.
Keep up.
"Cut a sixth-inch
valley through
the edge of my soul.”
Oh, oh, oh,
come and join me.
I'm not familiar with
the Chinese New Year,
or burning horses.
One of us won't sleep
tonight.
banners rise in street
each painted silk masterpiece
a celebration
of rich colors bleeding life
ancient spirits soar tonight
gentle goat once gray
brushed bold in crimson through time
draws fresh eyes and breath
a thousand years preserved
to graze upon ancient hill
for Debbie's Chinese New Year Contest, 1/24/15
inspired by Chinese silk painting
When the Fire Horse rises, it climbs the empty ridge;
clouds step aside, mountains dare not breathe, seasons lose their order,
shadow runs ahead of time, men dare not speak—
the omen enters the record, and Heaven sounds the bell.
The Horse walks between, yet all paths begin
where the endless river flows eastward
toward the Mountain where Heaven begins again.
Holy infectious diseases, Batman
What is it Robin, you annoying gnat
The Batmobile's coughing and wheezing
It needs an oil change, unmechanical brat...
LATER
Holy volcanic ash, Batman. Now it's belching smoke
Maybe it's a dragon-car. Ever think of that?
Correctimundo, Boss! Happy Chinese New Year!
Same to you, sidekick. Happy 'Year of the Rat!'
Every beginning of the Chinese lunar calendar
We ashering in Chinese New Year
Which carries a special meaning nowadays
Frankly to say
Just for us
To relax
After a long session of strenuous work
For a complete rehabilitation,
To drop in
After a long absence of contacts
For a hearty reunion once a year
To plan
After a long painful struggle
For prosperity and happiness
To pray
After a long disappointment
For a better tomorrow
All around the world in every nation,
it is the start of a fifteen day celebration.
There are red envelopes and gifts exchanged.
Numerous traditional events have been arranged.
Reunion dinners are held, and firecrackers are ablaze.
Plenty of activities take the stage during nights and days.
Many are conducted to chase evil spirits away.
The lantern festival is held on the last day.
We welcome this new year of the dragon.
Let all of those great festivities begin.
The candle dance is fascinating with lighted candles on dishes
held in hands with bodies moving and curving to the musical wishes
Silat is another dance with martial art movements to the beat
of drums and gongs causing the dancer to feel the heat
Then the dance Datun Julud is telling a story as you elegantly glide
The most famous dance of all which is renowned worldwide
is the Lion Dance danced at the time of the Chinese New Year
bringing good fortune and resistance to evil is perfectly clear
