HOMELAND LOVE (*)

- Published by The International Library of Poetry (Anthology Flowering Splendor)
- AmeRecord Incorporation had signed a contract for publishing

I love my country ardently
With its serpentine rivers & mountains in chains
Villages & hamelets’re covered with bamboo clumps
My cheerful school roofs’re embellished by of palm trees

I like the wind to make my kite in high floating
Unsteady buffalo guardian’s under a slant sun of evening
Mom’s lullaby in her familiar voice of “Au o” vowels
On a sounding hammock, I was asleep with a towel

I love a little girl beyond the river shore
The beauty of ferry boat with her passengers
Melancholically I remember the communal temple
Banian tree and old pier’re there but where’s my love ?

Also, the shadow of the church’s seen from far distance
Through sunny & rainy season its echoeing bell
was sent
I love certain roofs of paddy in a countryside
hamelet
In the evening their floating smokes stupefied
my bosom with sadness
Under a poor sky, their narrow days remain
as they’ve been
In a sudden, a coot sounds, my tears’re plentifully
shedding !
Homeland & country, both’re so gentle & mild
My remembrance’s then filled with melancholia
for Vietnam !

LONGING FOR (*)
ONE’S WARRIOR

(To be published by “Voice of America Poetry”)




A paddy roof in a poor hamelet covered with smoke
A lonesome bird’s sounding on a branch of nut
A plaintive and wailing cry as weeping for one’s life
I’m missing thee days and nights !

Many a time I read thy poems until night oil running
I feel so melancholical with myself under a dim
moonlit
My old love as longtime I miss
They hovered, rapture-bound ’tween wake & dream !


(*) Music by Joseph Huyen Pham
