女兒【原創 : 吳銓高】人14古韻 [精選]

My Daughters【By Charles Wu】

I am so glad to be the father of three daughters.
They are so sweet that we become happy partners.
Female can do male’s job if their ability tallies.
My wife and I should put our heart at ease.
Growing old, we need not worry about our future.
Our daughters will wait upon us with respect and pleasure.
The plus and minus sides of “Tai-ji” picture meet at end.
All living creatures are equal ! Nobody can amend.

煙火【原創 : 吳銓高】[五律]物14古韻 [精選]
忘我沖天箭 , 登高不畏寒。聲隆超炮仗 ; 態美若虯蟠。

The Fireworks [By Charles Wu]

The hovering rockets are so unselfish.

Despite the chill and height, they express their wish.

Making noises louder than the firecracker.

Gesturing nicely like the dragon dancer.

After they emit dazzling light in crazes

Their bodies will then explode in small pieces.

They have no aim in their life but to enjoy

Thus attracting a big crowd to share their joy.

勤耕貼作情堪讚 ; 夜讀挑燈志未殘。推廣詩詞憑毅力 , 弘揚國粹賴文壇。

Literary Website【By Charles Wu】

Without exchange views with friends, my poems are not fluent.

I make mistakes as I am ill-informed and ignorant.

It is interesting to seek advice from poem forum.

Reading comments of others, I acquire much wisdom.

Sometimes, they praise my diligence in the website.

We also discuss works of famous poets at night.

To popularize poesy needs perseverance.

The quintessence of Chinese culture is my preference.

二觉陀

淑婦【原創 : 吳銓高】人14古韻

育女相夫棲杏壇 , 英雌忍淚不偷彈。親朋樂訪鄰居讚 ; 婆媳無爭闔府歡。
運蹇高堂多病染 ; 誰憐巧婦兩頭瞞。家和福照平安宅 , 桃李盈門伴蕙蘭。

My Fair Lady【By Charles Wu】

She was a teacher, a good wife and a nice mother;
Who had never shed tears even under pressure.
Everyone got along with her cheerfully in the chapel.
Never argue with her mother-in-law proved to be useful.
Her daddy and her father-in-law got sick at the same time.
Best efforts were tried by her to make the two families chime.
When relatives lived in harmony, all affairs would prosper.
Her students loved her more than their planted orchid flower.

辭官【原創 : 吳銓高】人14古韻
敬業甘為調查官 , 如山執法莫鬆寬。無私鉄面驚包拯 ; 公正嚴明勝范韓。
百姓歡迎規可守 ; 奸商逃避夢難安。龍爭虎鬥非吾願 , 卻慕陶潛把菊看。

Resignation【By Charles Wu】

As an investigator, I enforce the law strictly.

Meanwhile, I deal with members of the public fairly.

People give me a nickname, The Black Iron Face.

My colleagues always deem me as their bookcase.

Law-abiding citizens welcome my enquiry.

Illegal merchants bribe me with offers of money.

Now I am tired of the fierce battle with the smugglers.

Beside my flowers, I read poems of the ancient authors.

二觉陀

詠竹【原創 : 吳銓高】植物14古韻

初冬冷意浸花欄 , 落葉蕭蕭竹影寒。縹節儲霜輕霧泊 ; 黃苞奪翠美人觀。

叢長蔭路身堪用 ; 根瘦無塵筍可餐。傲世甘為名士筆 , 虛心正直似廉官。

Bamboo【By Charles Wu】

In early winter, cold wind attacked the flower railing.
Leaves fell from trees yet the bamboo was still growing.
Frost condensed at their joints with mist mooring around.
Their green trunks turned yellow near which poets were found.  
Their shadows covered the road while their bodies were in use.
People ate their shoots and their clean roots made them muse.
Bamboo was proud to be the shaft of Chinese writing brush.
With it, honest official could complete cases in a rush !

From Xian, we started our nine-day Silk Road journey.

Wild geese perched at Qin figurines of the wall like an army.

Enjoying the “Jia-yu” ancient pass, we praised the builder.

Skin raft could be seen under the bridge of Yellow River.

An inverted image of the sand dune, the Moon Spring gave.

The “Dun-huang” frescoes faded incompletely at the rocky cave.

Icy water wells were dug at the Flame Mountain border.

From the Hilltop Lake, we rode horses in “Nan-shan” pasture

Merry Retirement【By Charles Wu】
I am a low rank official in the government;

Who soon arrives at the age of retirement.

Exercise is my routine in morning and evening.

I take a noon rest in the bed for meditating.

At times , I practise calligraphy with a Chinese brush.

Computer is used to amend my verses not in a rush.

Chanting poem makes me very happy.

My black hair turns grey but I do not worry.

Hidden underneath for so long, finally got to sing along,
Their dignity spirit attracted poets composing the song.

冬禪【原創 : 吳銓高】人15古韻 [精選]

功名不愛愛湖山 , 歸隱無求賦未閒。 落日懶偎紅樹外 ; 炊煙直上白雲間。

知霜守寂鳴蛩伏 ; 涉水棲松唳鶴還。 順應自然天道在 , 明心見性悟禪關。

Deep Meditation In Winter【By Charles Wu】
I love the nature more than the high official rank.

Being a hermit, I add my verses to poetry bank.

As the setting sun, I snuggle to the mangrove lazily;

Like smoke from kitchen, I greet the white clouds directly .

Insects keep quiet since they know when the frost will come.

Cranes return to their nests on the pine else they will be lonesome.

It is wise for all creatures to follow the course of nature.

In pursuit of the truth, our conscience is the mirror.
