【小活动】An Unborn Girl

From a trampoline
she'll jump up to the moon
and then make a parachute drop
with the Moon Lady's sleeves.

On a swing
she'll swing high enough
to see her shoes fly away
as a pair of swallows.

Under an apple tree
she'll be a sleeping beauty,
challenging apples
to defy gravity.

• 谢谢书坛举办小活动，刚好要发一首自由体英语小诗，题材与《生之欲》有关，就顺便参加小活动。 -shuier- ♀ (0 bytes) () 05/26/2023 postreply 16:44:10

• 谢谢猫姐，转头即告知內子。记得家母说过旧香港有“水上人家”，女名多为帶娣，其实原是带弟。帶弟们成年吋自改为帶娣。 -renqiulan- ♂ (0 bytes) () 05/26/2023 postreply 19:05:11
