Can you hear the green leaves hanging on trees
or the splashing of clear blue water seas
The children shouting chanting loud in joy
And I myself become a little boy
Fling off your backpack that has weighed you down
and lets play all day till the sun goes down
Forget about your homework for just once
and just enjoy the feeling of joyance
As the day ends and the sky turns amber
I look back and wish it lasts forever
Oh summer vacation I wish you well
and hope that we shall never say farewell

The Christmas Balad
Once upon a time in a quiet town
During midnight when everything slows down
A young child waits for Santa to come down
Touch down to the ground in this small hometown
Wishing for Christmas to come haste he lay
Santa Claus please come to town come today
Come to town riding on your reindeer sleigh
Laughing Ho Ho Ho spreading love, I pray
At that moment he heard the Ho Ho Ho
The jolly laughter ringing cross the snow
A sleigh full of presents to give and go
Happiness and love spread through town, Bravo!
And so the little child’s wish had come true
Presents left for everyone, me and you
And the town’s spirit rising up a new
Santa flew away in the midnight blue
Sonnet
I walk into my deepest darkest room
forgotten lost and ancient is the place
the atmosphere still dense and full of gloom
a child once striving for a warm embrace
If you have thought of life as something sweet
just wait and look then soon you'll realize
like razor blade apples on trick or treat
You'll take a bite and know it’s full of lies
And now I am here in a wretched state
No place to go I am a helpless man
with only memories to contemplate
the time has passed and nothing that I can
but may I ask you one favor in mind
when you see a lost lonely child be kind

Shakespearean sonnet & modern sonnet
sonnet 3
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remembered not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose uneared womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb
Of his self-love, to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother's glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles, this thy golden time.
But if thou live, remembered not to be,
Die single and thine image dies with thee.
Modern Sonnet: Inextricably Caught
(by firelioness)
Morning comes, yet no sweet melody greets the ear
The cheerful lark sings in a world of the distant past
Instead, the whoosh of cars and an occasional honking blast
form the only cacophony one can hear
Morning comes, yet no dazzling sunrise lights the dull pier
Instead, the waves of smoky smog work fast
Smothering warm rays and shrouding the city in a dark cast
Filling the water with poison, stealing its clarity and sheer
Nature stands no chance against its industrial foe
Its oceans may flood and its winds may blow
But such calamities will matter not
when toxic wastes make the sea inhospitable
and deleterious fumes render the air irrespirable
For if nature loses, mankind will be the one inextricably caught
Morning comes, yet no sweet melody greets the ear
The cheerful lark sings in a world of the distant past
Instead, the whoosh of cars and an occasional honking blast
form the only cacophony one can hear
Morning comes, yet no dazzling sunrise lights the dull pier
Instead, the waves of smoky smog work fast
Smothering warm rays and shrouding the city in a dark cast
Filling the water with poison, stealing its clarity and sheer
Nature stands no chance against its industrial foe
Its oceans may flood and its winds may blow
But such calamities will matter not
when toxic wastes make the sea inhospitable
and deleterious fumes render the air irrespirable
For if nature loses, mankind will be the one inextricably caught
The cheerful lark sings in a world of the distant past
Instead, the whoosh of cars and an occasional honking blast
form the only cacophony one can hear
Morning comes, yet no dazzling sunrise lights the dull pier
Instead, the waves of smoky smog work fast
Smothering warm rays and shrouding the city in a dark cast
Filling the water with poison, stealing its clarity and sheer
Nature stands no chance against its industrial foe
Its oceans may flood and its winds may blow
But such calamities will matter not
when toxic wastes make the sea inhospitable
and deleterious fumes render the air irrespirable
For if nature loses, mankind will be the one inextricably caught

Blank Verse
People often say to me “Love is pain”
But for me I believe that love is joy
Love is something that gives us happiness
A sense of happiness hard to explain
Love is like a gift ready to unwrap
It makes us wonder what treats are inside
Sharing love is just like sharing laughter
They say “laugh and the whole world laughs with you”
Just like “Love and the whole world loves with you”
Love is found everyday all around us

Life
The divine gift bestowed by mother nature
A blessing from the heavens and earth
we are all one together
together in the core
Then why do we occupy our selves and time
and surround ourselves with meaningless junk?
Take a step back and you will see
what are the things that really matter
Turn off your cellphone and your computer screen
turn off the tv and turn down the beats
Turn off the radio playing so loud
and get up and look around
Look at your friends and family
Look at the scenery outside
Look into your heart and see
what life really means
The divine gift bestowed by mother nature
A blessing from the heavens and earth
we are all one together
together in the core
Then why do we occupy our selves and time
and surround ourselves with meaningless junk?
Take a step back and you will see
what are the things that really matter
Turn off your cellphone and your computer screen
turn off the tv and turn down the beats
Turn off the radio playing so loud
and get up and look around
Look at your friends and family
Look at the scenery outside
Look into your heart and see
what life really means

| End of today As the sun sets west Waving, promising to us To bring a new day |

| Jungle Book Through the overgrowth Wonder into the unknown Call of adventure |

| Island A speck of greener May embellish the vast blue A work of nature |
Letter
I've been trying to
To write this letter for you
But words just can't do
Remembrance
Sometimes, I think back
Back to the days, my childhood
Time flies, doesn't it?
