《肖像 Portrait》

楼主 (文学城)

The first frost came in the night, a clear, scant-started night, when the moon was near its fullness. 

Silent, followed the heels of Vibrato (颤音), one of pals in MYSJ and a well known Chinese American poet, I went to AllPoetry, the biggest online publisher of English poetry. I published one of my English poems there then. 

How exciting! The short piece got an auto-ranked score for 8.9 and professional similarity 6 of 10. Moreover, several poets left their comments on it. The feedbacks on my poems from readers always mean a lot to me. I knew they were always nice to new comers. 

You might think I’m showing off, but I don’t intend to do that. Just for fun, LOL:))


这首诗被AllPoentry选上首页。这里许多朋友见过它的中文版。


Portrait
by TweetinGreen

on a strange sky dome
using meticulous skill
with a calligraphic brush
draw an oil painting
waves in the vast ocean
the dawning and twilight
thorny blood paths
gullies crisscross

so beautiful
a new genre

a shaved face
covered with mottled paints and inks
heh heh heh grinning
in a corner, a cup of tea
still jasmine

Kh Ventura - wonderfully written, such a delightful piece to read, Thank you

Nicely done a month ago

Cozyglow - I love this poem. It’s such a meaningful and vivid portrait of the first generation immigrants. We crossed oceans and treaded thorny paths to come to a new place to seek a dream. We worked hard and overcame a lot of obstacles to get to today’s good life. “ in a corner, a cup of tea still jasmine”, inside, we still have a place for our old lands. Really enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing! a month ago

Stuart Munro - Nice subject poetry

Lovely a month ago

Kelley Citrin - I am absolutely obsessed with this poem. The last line felt resilient and hopeful, concise imagery, pretty words. I adore it. Stunning. a month ago

祝贺祝贺!绿诗人也是中美著名的双语诗人!是金子在哪都会发光!
忒忒绿
汗颜:)我是胡乱涂鸦 all are meanderings, haha:)
忒忒绿
希望更多更好的爱诗之人来美坛,欧耶:)

American Chinese or Chinese American? 前者指有美国身份的中国人,我们移民一代
移花接木
Chinese American美国人有中国血统,在美国更明确,美国是把每个移民归化为美国人。加拿大有些不同
忒忒绿
花帅好,你要的回车现代自由诗来了:)
忒忒绿
颤音诗人是不是中美混血啊?
忒忒绿
等着我问问他:)

号称民族马赛克,鼓励每个民族保留自己文化,以至于有的封闭族群几代后还没有加拿大国家认同感

这种情况就有些复杂。

第一代叫 Canadian xxx xxx. 有的多以后还认为自己是xxx xxx 国人,仍然可叫Canadian xxx xxx

中国人比较开放最多三代以后就可以叫Chinese Canadian了,

忒忒绿
是不是入籍后就可以叫xxxx American 了:)
移花接木
绿兄,牛大发了,随手一抛就这么厉害

我觉得不是,我的citizenship: Canadian. 我的nationality: Chinese. 我CC

Canadian Chinese. Canadian是形容词了。

妖妖灵
难道你不是Chinese Canadian?就像我们常说:Aferican Americans
忒忒绿
对呀, 花帅应该是CCh
忒忒绿
主要是因为你起的名好TG:)

我认为我是中国人,我加拿大的中国人。 我觉得中国与我无关但仍有中国血统我就是中国血统加拿大人

我认为那是世代生活在美国的祖先来自非洲的黑人,从一出生起他就获得了美国籍。他的主语才能叫American

出生时除了美国国籍,再没有其它了

移花接木
荣幸之至,我也跟着光彩

我太喜欢最后那个评语了,诗人们回帖都是诗歌味道

看wiki关于Chinese Canadians:

This is a list of Chinese Canadians including both original immigrants who obtained Canadian citizenship and their Canadian-born descendants who are notable, have made significant contributions to the Canadian or international culture or society politically, artistically or scientifically, or have prominently appeared in the news.

不同理解,引起我注意是一个意大利后裔当上多伦多警长,那文章说至于他算Italian Canadian还是

Canadian Italian.就不要探讨了。 他是好几代移民后裔,出生后就是加拿大国籍,出生后也有回意大利生活经历。

天边一片白云
Congratulation! 绿诗人!能不能把中文版也放这里?
妖妖灵
哇,理解得这么深刻呢!学习了
忒忒绿
按花帅的理解,美国人都是英国人:)
忒忒绿
身体与身份可以不同:)
忒忒绿
hi 白云,许久不见,可好!:)
忒忒绿
好的我去找找
天边一片白云
好好。我潜水偷偷地读你的诗。
天边一片白云
谢谢。我特地到那个首页看了一下,没看到。可能是一个月前的首页吧?没截个屏?
忒忒绿
附上中文版了,有点些许不同:)
忒忒绿
谢谢你,要常浮出水面啊:)

仔细想都有道理,或许任何一个说法都没有被完全认同
忒忒绿
你也在那里?太棒了:)FPP 28 days ago

我理解是几代后,才完全是American American.美国有宪法规定美国出生的美国人才有资格选举总统吗?
天边一片白云
我是听你说的,好奇才去看了一下,看看你説的是真的,还是假的。哈哈。
天边一片白云
谢谢。
