Chinese Seniors' Day Poem by William He

Chinese Seniors' Day

Chinese Seniors' Day
By William He

Autumn hovering to suck last nectar from all flowers,
Chrysanthemum is a puzzle wrapped in a gift pack.
Attosecond wanders in the mist of real and illusion,
Half Light is a prismatic labyrinth past and yet new.
Spoonbill lingers as the dreamer walks the bare land,
The rapture and rupture fostering melancholy mood.
Life stream running through the veins in the twilight,
Pirouetting in rhythmic measures in ebb and in flow.

七律 癸卯重阳
作者:何威廉

秋声日紧欲重阳,伫立篱边菊靥黄。
阿秒脉冲时序短,浮生积世梦游长。
巳怜琵鹭弹归曲,更觉西风思惋伤。
向晚林梢心影落,谁人酬对伴新凉。

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Double Ninth Festival, also known as Chongyang Festival, is held on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It is also known as the Senior Citizens' Festival. In 2023, the Double Ninth Festival takes place on 23rd, October,2023. In ancient times, people believed that the double ninth day was worth a celebration. Since folk people had the tradition of climbing a mountain on that day, the Chongyang Festival is also called the Height Ascending Festival. The Chongyang Festival also has other names, such as the Chrysanthemum Festival. As 'double ninth' is pronounced the same as the word meaning 'forever, ' ancestors are also worshipped on that day. "Attosecond": "Atto"is the scientific notation prefix that represents 10 -18, which is a decimal point followed by 17 zeroes and a 1. Attosecond physics is the science of atomic-scale electronic motions, often triggered by light. The force that visible/infrared light waves exert on charged particles varies within hundreds of attoseconds. Electrons can respond to these hyperfast variations by changing their state (position, velocity) on the same time scale. "Half Light(2006) ":  Directed by Craig Rosenberg, with Demi Moore, Henry Ian Cusick,  Jordan El-Balawi,  Kate Isitt.  Achel Carlson,  asuccessful novelist moves to a small Scottish village to move onwith her life after the death of her son.  Strange things start to happen when she is haunted by ghosts and real life terror.
