《肖像 Portrait》

The first frost came in the night, a clear, scant-started night, when the moon was near its fullness. 

Silent, followed the heels of Vibrato (颤音), one of pals in MYSJ and a well known Chinese American poet, I went to AllPoetry, the biggest online publisher of English poetry. I published one of my English poems there then. 

How exciting! The short piece got an auto-ranked score for 8.9 and professional similarity 6 of 10. Moreover, several poets left their comments on it. The feedbacks on my poems from readers always mean a lot to me. I knew they were always nice to new comers. 

You might think I’m showing off, but I don’t intend to do that. Just for fun, LOL：））

Portrait
by TweetinGreen

on a strange sky dome
using meticulous skill
with a calligraphic brush
draw an oil painting
waves in the vast ocean
the dawning and twilight
thorny blood paths
gullies crisscross

so beautiful
a new genre

a shaved face
covered with mottled paints and inks
heh heh heh grinning
in a corner, a cup of tea
still jasmine

Nicely done a month ago

Cozyglow - I love this poem. It’s such a meaningful and vivid portrait of the first generation immigrants. We crossed oceans and treaded thorny paths to come to a new place to seek a dream. We worked hard and overcame a lot of obstacles to get to today’s good life. “ in a corner, a cup of tea still jasmine”, inside, we still have a place for our old lands. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing! a month ago

Stuart Munro - Nice subject poetry

Lovely a month ago

Kelley Citrin - I am absolutely obsessed with this poem. The last line felt resilient and hopeful, concise imagery, pretty words. I adore it. Stunning. a month ago


附中文版：

《肖像》

在陌生的天幕上 
用毛笔，工笔山水技法 
画了一幅油画 
波澜壮阔，朝晖暮色 
荆棘血路，沟壑交错 

很美 
成了新流派 

哎，是你吗？ 
满脸，满身的 
斑驳水彩，油墨 
嘿嘿笑 
在一个角落里 
喝的茶 
还是茉莉花
