Late autumn in eastern Canada
A thousand hills in red and lavender
Ten thousand trees in brown and yellow splendor
Driving north from Toronto
On both sides of the roads
Leaves display brilliant colors fold after fold
The world is a show of fantasy fables Continue reading
The Mid-autumn Moon 江紹倫譯
Clouds gone at dusk the world cool and serene
The Man of Galaxy moves the moon on a charming sheen
I recall not a happier night than this you and I hold
Where each of us will view this same moon next year who knows

Autumn (7)
中秋全景属潜夫 棹入空明看太湖
身外水天银一色 城中有此月明无
How beautiful the Mid-Autumn Fest it’s all for me
I sail in the serene clear space the TaiLake I’ll see
Beyond my soul water and sky a silver constellation
I wonder how city folks could see such illumination Continue reading

Ah My Native Land
Winds through ten thousand pines sound musical
Green leaves on a thousand hills shine beautiful
Playful clouds create shadows from the sun
Waves of thriving rice on the plain a sight so fun
Birds roost in the midst of fine woods
Fishes glide in pristine shallows feeling good
Such heartfelt dreams end I linger
Awake I pine for my native land ever
「往日崎嶇還記否，路長人困蹇驢嘶」
僅以此文《崢嶸歲月》獻給和我共同渡過那炎炎夏日的朋友。

楔子
……
那是一個令人懷念的的夏天，那是一個令人懷念的地方。沒有激情燃燒凌雲志，也沒有兒女私情，更沒有可歌可泣的事跡。一班「同是天涯淪落人」的中國年輕人；香港來的，台灣來的，大陸來的。有緣相遇在這罪惡之城，他們為同一目標而來：”打工賺錢交學費！”.
《崢嶸歲月》
前輩
關慧，這就讀加洲洲立長灘大學的留學生，是我們這群人到賭城打工的前輩。這位先知先覺，文革爆發前就已捷足先登到香港的大哥哥，吭幾句粵曲有板有眼, 他的舉手投足，自有一番世家子弟風范，因為他是佛山梁園的後人。
關慧來了三年。去年，他跟三兩香港同學到過賭城做暑期工。看著一個個陸續到達異邦的小弟弟，他們無親朋，學費無著落，英文是有限公司，前途迷茫。大哥哥義氣干雲，能幫助，能指教的，他都毫無保留。
關慧一雙慧眼看著我們，出一招仙人指路，老成持重的前輩口吻安慰：「唔駛驚！美國遍地黃金，只要肯做肯捱，一定有前途。趁著未開學，到賭城賺你們的學費吧！那兒有工作。」
風箏 希尼（愛爾蘭)
來自另一種生活時地的空氣
在粉藍色天空上浮托
一隻白翼在微風中衝向高空
是一只風箏出現在某一下午
人們紛紛步出戶外
散踞在荆棘薔薇籬笆中央
Returning Swallows
Swallows always return here in spring
They delight seeing flowers bloom along the lane
Gliding beneath the eave they flex their wings
Mud in beaks they build nests for the young to live in
Flying in pairs they contest in precision not speed
Once their young calls for feeding they toil indeed
Parents take turns bringing nourishment from fields and hills
Generations repeat the same love and care by Nature’s will
