五绝二首 & A Short Poem

《梦》平水韵

(一)

京民皆闭户，巷口为谁开？
吹我梅花笛，知音化雪来。

(二）

无声人合十，仰见漫天灰。
青鸟悠悠下，銜来一剪梅。

作者： 纫秋兰


“Dreams”

Stuck midstream,
I kept hearing the river roar---
That's the kind of dream
I can afford no more.

Fighting upstream,
The river kept hearing me roar---
That's the kind of dream
I'm living for.

--- 蓝灵

 

 

"吹我梅花笛，知音化雪来。" "青鸟悠悠下，銜来一剪梅。" 梅花笛唤来了知音和一剪梅！两首五绝相映成趣，很有创意！

小西星期五晚上好！深有同感！

“Fighting upstream, The river kept hearing me roar,

That's the kind of dream I'm living for."

Keep dreaming this dream, 蓝灵！

This was an upstream battle.

And the dream of getting stucked in the midstream was just a

Life is but a dream. Yes, let's live on and dream on.

bad dream. You survived :)

"Stuck midstream? Change horses" is a phrase

You're so brave, and you can win the battle!

from a 2001 article in Medical Economics by D Grandinetti.

The article is about not getting stuck in work that is less.

蓝灵晚上好，谢谢蓝灵和秋兰的好分享！

Hahaha! I have battle scars to prove it.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.

A Galatian "bore in his body the marks of warfare,"

which is a biblical reference, by the way.

I believe you. Save you a trip to show me the evidence :)

My pleasure. Actually, I learned it from 纫秋兰.

I was employing a rhetorical device.

You might want to take it as a figure of speech.

Okay, I believe you again :)

Thank you both!

Thank you!

I always appreciate your kind words.

Thank you, 蓝灵，goodnight. Have a great weekend!

No work is satisfying until and less you make it so.

小西, you have a great weekend!

“吹我梅花笛” 此君爱梅若爱妻。

胡同寂寂，一声笛，万片雪。作者开出了意境，开出了天地。

‘’巷口为谁开？‘’ 京居之无奈，京民之自闭，令人太息长太息。

“知音化雪来”。压轴精采，我最陶醉这一句，无知音处得知音。冬雪，冷而不冷漠。

不冷漠，便见温情，便见人情，便见人间有情。天若有情天亦老，怎会呢？

灰濛濛的京空，就有一只青鸟（“青鸟殷勤为探看”的青鸟），悠然而降，带来一剪梅。这，不期然地联想到

那一只在洪水滔天之后銜来橄榄枝的鸽子。

That's the fighting spirit, my fighting spirit.

Thank you for cheering on me during this game.

Life is the name of the game.

Right, it was a bad dream. No one likes to

get stuck midstream, just as no one likes to be caught

in a quagmire.

Yes, I did survive a nightmare.

It was a desperate situation.

His quotes were inspiring.

I remember this line from "A Tale of Two Cities": "When they

took a young man into Tellson's London house, they hid him

somewhere till he was old. They kept him in a dark place,

like a cheese, until he had the full Tellson flavor

and blue mold upon him." This was someone stuck midstream.

吹我梅花笛，知音化雪来; 青鸟悠悠下，銜来一剪梅。---Love it! 有意境有情感！

蓝灵的英文诗也很棒，stuck in midstream, fighting in upstream

your dream never dies but is alive! 诗寓意好，makes us relay. 赞！

暖冬周末好！纫秋兰这几句，我也非常喜爱，觉得难忘。

感谢暖冬鼓励！拙作是有感而发的。某天看香港“南华早报”，入目是这个社论标题：

‘’Stuck midstream in the river of reform‘’

As for life, it might well be an upstream battle as much as

an uplifting odyssey.

BTW, fish instinctively fight their way upstream against

the current. Sink or swim. Future is at stake.

这几句确实好！清新脱俗，秋兰的诗词别具一格，让人拍案叫好。

蓝灵的英文小诗，隽永！用词，意境俱佳。优秀的作品！

问暖冬mm新年好。回美国了吗？

即兴而作。好雅兴！

好联想！赞文化底蕴～～

蓝灵是爱读书之人，让人欣赏！

蓝灵是爱读书之人，让人欣赏！

Let it go.Hug! The key word is HOPE! Never give up.

You are a brave soldier, aren’t you? Go 蓝灵！

The nightmare will eventually end. Pat pat…

Life is not a game. Still, in this life, we choose the

games we live to play. —— J.R. Rim

SWIM for sure! For the bright future.

蓝灵解析得好。

盈盈周末好！感谢励言！

此君纫诗如纫兰。

字浅意深而远。

网阅“南早”，多知一点“出口转內销”的消息。“南早”是马云旗下的唯一英语报刊，现在还是否，不得而知。

谬赞了。再谢盈盈！

蓝灵有才，涉猎广泛！

其实呢，全拜言论自由，资讯自由之赐。

盈盈mm，我回美了。给你拜个晚年！美坛东西越来越多，目不暇接了！

回拜晚年。欢迎回来。期待你的佳作！：））
