Poems
--A few simple forms of English Poems
When you think of the word “poem”, what comes to your mind
What can you see in the picture
What would you do if you were walking in a forest and came to a crossroad like this
Let’s appreciate the poem
—The Road Not Taken
林子里有两条路,我——
选择了行人稀少的那一条,
它改变了我的一生。
——罗伯特·弗罗斯特《未选择的路》
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
Why do you think people write poems
to create images for the readers
to tell a story
to express feelings
to make others laugh
to play with words …
to create a mood
to express a point of view
to encourage people
to recall an enjoyable or unpleasant incident

Only one mother
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn,
But only one mother the wide world over.

waiting
Where she awaits her husband on and on the river flows.
Never looking back, transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top, wind and rain revolve.
Should the journeyer return, this stone would utter speech.

Let’s guess!
Guess Chinese poems according to the English translation
Before my bed a pool of night,
Can it be hoarfrost on the ground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright,
Bowing, In homesickness I’m drowned.
静夜思
床前明月光,疑是地上霜。
举头望明月,低头思故乡。
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly(朦胧) shed.
青玉案·元夕
— 辛弃疾
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在,
灯火阑珊处。
This morn(破晓) of spring in bed I’m lying,
Not wake up till I hear birds crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!
春晓
—孟浩然
春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟。
夜来风雨声,花落知多少。
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
再别康桥
轻轻的我走了,
正如我轻轻的来;
我轻轻的招手,
作别西天的云彩。
The furthest distance(距离) in the world
is not the way from birth to the end.
It is when I stand in front of you
but you don’t understand I love you.
世界上最遥远的距离
不是生与死,
而是我就站在你面前,
你却不知道我爱你。
——泰戈尔(印度诗人)
If winter comes,
can spring be far behind
冬天来了,
春天还会远吗
——雪莱
