 KuHai: 1 (a free verse 3 lines poem)

(11.27.2020.wenwenlin)

sound of wind chimes

passing through the long corridor---

did you hear the flowers giggle?

(note: KuHai is a word my poetic friends Judy and Andre made up: 

simply a free verse 3 lines poem. vs. Haiku 5-7-5 strict rhythm)

pink lotus moors on moonlight

when lovers

passing each others

on the street after some long years

while with another in their arms--

there is no greater silence

between the folds of the old waves

and the new, in the ocean of the pages...

each professes in the art

of entering and departing,

chapters that are chronologically misplaced

and paragraphs that have been written, erased

and re-written and re-erased,

pages flipped, skipped, stuck together

with content still unknown

sentences half read

words with syllables mis-pronounced--

and the book of life

has already been rushed

to be published.

looking back at the face

that speaks through the silent mirror

still not ready for repentance.

the wanderer dips her feet

in the ever changing river flow

the thespian without fixed roles

Inventory

 Inventory

(11.06.2020.wenwenlin)

i have:

52 teeth, 206 bones, 5 million hair,

86 billion neurons, 7 trillion nerves

and 16 personalities--

like an artful rabbit would

dig multiple holes

for earth's long winter, and

for human's hearts of labyrinth

Enchantment

 Enchantment (11.06.2020.wenwenlin)

you don't have to be fire

to burn every fence in your way,

you don't have to be the ocean

to calm all storms back to water,

you don't have to be blue ice

to be so profoundly beautiful,

pressurized from been originally snow,

and got all your oxygen

painfully squeezed out--

you just need to

keep your soft heart perennially wild

and your dampened soul perpetually drunk

from the enchantment

of everyday mundane moments.
