Shanghai Breeze (I) Poem by Cigeng Zhang

Shanghai Breeze (I)

Rating: 5.0


A girl sings her song of September
with a French phoenix tree together

I'm just watching the falling leaves
Autumn wind blows away the butterflies

They are the old faces of the tree
The girl's hands hold the lone tree

I pick up the fallen leaves
She smiles at me in distance

I begin to sow the fallen leaves
Softly on her new footsteps

Hi Cigeng, There are old faces of the tree The girl's hands hold the lone tree What an extra ordinary picture is drawn by so few words. And then you develop it to bloom: , I pick up the fallen leaves She smiles at me in distance and conclude, breaking my heart, by I begin to sow the fallen leaves Softly on her new footsteps. I am at a loss of words to express my feelings now. Just overwhelmed.

A beautiful poem, subtle and exquisite; there is sadness and a wistfulness brought out in the poem. I feel that She smiles at me in distance may sound better as She smiles at me from afar.
