Lin laoshi gave us 3 poems today and asked which one we like. Actually I like all 3; each gives me different feelings. Honestly, I've never had too good an opinion of modern poems (现代诗) partly coz' they are usually quite incomprehensible. Besides, I like the styles of ancient poems (古诗) coz' they made the poems seem so smooth and easily remembered. But 新诗 can be sleek and beautiful too. Shall share the 3 poems we read today.

《一颗开花的树》

如何让我遇见你
在我最美丽的时刻

为这
我已在佛前求了五百年
求佛让我们结一尘缘
佛于是把我化做一棵树
长在你必经的路旁

阳光下
慎重地开满了花
朵朵都是我前世的盼望

当你走近
请你细听
那颤抖的叶
是我等待的热情

而当你终于无视地走过
在你身后落了一地的
朋友啊
那不是花瓣
那时我凋零的心


《送别》

不是所有的梦都来得及实现
不是所有的话都来得及告诉你
内疚和悔恨
总要深深地种植在离别后的心中

尽管他们说 世间种种
最后终必成空
我并不是立意要错过

可是我 一直都在这样做
错过那花满枝椏的昨日
又要错过今朝

今朝 仍要重复那相同的别离
余生将成陌路
一去千里
在暮霭里
向你深深地俯首

请为我珍重
尽管他们说 世间种种
最后终必 终必成空


《错误》

我打江南走过
那等在季节里的容颜如莲花的开落

东风不来,三月的柳絮不飞
你底心如小小寂寞的城
恰若青石的街道向晚
跫音不想,三月的春帷不揭
你底心是小小的窗扉紧掩

我达达的马蹄是美丽的错误
我不是归人,是个过客... ...

The first 2 poems are really 贴切 but it may not be exactly the same as the writer's context. Reminds me of some memories which happened to belong to the same year back then, though both poems remind me of different memories. Nostalgic? Maybe... With some self-professed stupidity too. Memories are a complicated thing. They can be beautiful and painful at the same time. A lot like love.... These 3 poems are really quite inspiring in some life concepts... Or maybe I simply think too much.
