THE GEOMETRICAL PHILOSOPHY

(GROUP POEMS)

 

THE CIRCLE

 

The circles

Are quotidian.

The circle is a flawless line

Which brings up the most beautiful commonness.

 

Amidst flowers and in the moonlight, we are looking forward to fulfilling our dreams.

The pan, the bowl, the cup and the plate are all in the shape of circle.

The circle is the heart's Kaddish.

It's also the safe start.

 

The essence of juste-milieu is the circle.

It is adiaphorous.

Please use the sun as the medal

To consecrate to the ordinary circle.

 

 

THE PARALLEL

 

Pairs of parallels,

They have passed many years together.

The affectionate Love is showed.

They don't abandon the other side and accompany with each other.

 

The exterior seems a little plain

But the connotation is thought-provoking.

Suppose there was no prolonging,

There would be no conflicts.

 

If you are tolerant and support each other.

And leave a private space to the other side.

Don't strive for perfection

Then the love will be everlasting.

 

 

TRIANGLES

 

If we are just fond of things' exterior

Our first impression for a triangle will not be good.

All its three angles have edges and points

Over-exposed sharpness must be a sign of flaunt

 

If we could skillfully apply the principle of averaging

To best embody a strong and solid style

Then the three edges would uphold each other

To shoulder very heavy pressure firmly

 

In constructing buildings, towers and big bridges

Triangles have been playing an key role

Pyramids are classic examples

They have been accompanying the Nile for thousands of years.

 

 

QUADRANGLES

 

Both squares and rectangles are generally called as quadrangles

They are properly shaped, serious and grand.

They are in a lack of romance

But they are the place where people could settle down

 

Law-books are quadrangle

Houses and furniture are quadrangle

They obtain supports from all directions

To guarantee that everything is safe and steady

 

Space concluded by quadrangles is large

Volume of quadrangles is comfortable and tolerable

Our ancestors often claimed that the sky is round and

ground is quadrangle'

Isn't this quadrangle ground our hometown.



COMMENTING ON NATURE

(GROUP POEMS)

 

HIGH MOUNTAINS

 

Lofty and steady, majestic and grand

The mainstays of the mother land holding the sky

They are like the paper-weight guarding our splendid nation

 

They are coordinates of the earth

Our homes are dotted in all directions

High mountains can best understand what is brevity

They let strong men climb them and appreciate freely the vast blue skies

 

They have been watching the world in silence for hundreds

                                                                                   

of years

They have been watching those heroes from everywhere

Silence is gold and without rumors

They know deeply that there is never an extreme excellence and perfection

 

 

RIVERS

 

There is an immortal legend about human life

It comes from ever-galloping rivers

Since seeds bud at banks

A green kingdom has been expanding on riversides

 

Beginning from the brutal and barbarian past

Our ancestors have been working along rivers when the sun rises

A small boat drifts over the long river of history

Countries and cities come up in the sound made by paddling

 

While satellites keep sending electric waves endlessly

The earth has been networked as a nature village

Rivers need to be protected further as source of our lives

So that the earth could have a keep-beating pulse

 

 

FORESTS

 

The glamour of "Green Lover" belongs to forests

They dress up when the sun rises and help those forests-lovers

                                                                                       

keep fit

Fresh air nourishes valuable youth

It moistens environment to prolong healthy lives

 

They hang romance on green shadows

They experience the same happiness in singing with birds and


beasts

Spring goes and autumn comes with beautiful leaves fulfilling


our eyes

They repay the mother land with abundant fruits and leaves

 

The forests are fine and comfortable in all four seasons

The green lands bring bumper harvests one year after another

I wish on the horizontal line of next year

Green scenes would be seen everywhere.

 

 

LAKES

 

Are they the pearls studded on the green grassland?

Or clear mirrors lying quietly on rich earth?

Dotted located lakes, big or small

They decorate the nature into a romance of poetry and painting

 

Flowers bloom and trees are green by the lakes

In lakes fishes are sharing their joys and frogs are singing together

Their singing can be heard from pieces of returning sails

Music made by herding flute is flying with white clouds

 

A lake connects towns

A lake nurtures a crowd of people living around it

They collect rain from sky and save streams above the ground

The affection of people for the lakes could be measured by the depth of the lakes
