Zunyi Normal College Poetry Club

Spring 2013 marked the beginning of the Zunyi Normal College Poetry Club.

The students were all freshmen, and, while poetry enthusiasts, none had written poetry in English before.

Here are the results of one semester's work. We hope to continue meeting this year and expand into longer forms.

A Quiet Morning

Walking along a narrow road

A chill makes me feel cold.

Many blossoms are lying on the ground

I know another season will come around.

A Bright Night

the moon shines brightly

a breeze blows quietly

some frogs croak loudly

By Aimee, Class 2

Fall

The falling yellow leaves in deep autumn

Remind me of a beautiful girl

Who is dancing a ballet alone.

A Rainy Day

it's raining for hours

just like the sky cries sadly

but why don't we smile?

Quiet Night

though it's getting dark

I come to the quiet lake

lonely and alone

By Lonely, Class 3

----------------------

At the foot of a mountain

Lived an old lady with three children.

Their life was easy

But they're really happy.

On a sunny Saturday morning

I went out to play.

Here comes the bus

While traffic was in a mess.

the flower is smiling

the water is flowing

is spring coming?

By Champion, Class 1

----------------

Come on!

Hard-working, serious,

Loving, conscientious,

Strong-willed, generous,

Fighting, ambitious.

Weather Change

The rainy day is fleeing

The sunny day is coming

Moods throw away sorrows

Hearts don't cast shadows.

Outside

A pack of people in a line

One of the boys wants to fly

A small river flows into the East

But we go home toward the West.

By Jean, Class 1

----------------

It's raining outside

We are sitting on inside.

Where is the little deer?

Maybe it's here.

Where is Mr. Rabbit?

Maybe he is looking for Alice

Or threw away his top hat

Hidden in the thick growth of grass.

Sitting beside the window

Looking at the shadow

Dreaming my dream

Eating my ice cream

No, no, no.

Don't play the piano!

It's noisy,

It makes me crazy.

By Shirley, Class 2
