Haiku by David Du

An invisible shadow
By David Du
When you open your kitchen cabinet, and pick up a package of noddles,
you find a small hole there.
you realize an invisible shadow is surrounding you.
you wonder how the shadow could have run into the caabinet,
because ther's no gap leading any shadow to come in.
You start considering how to take off the shadow...
You look around, unfortunately you can't find the shadow,
because in this room of yours is no sunshine.
But you also think, maybe this is a special shadow that likes a room without sunshine.
you hate this kind of shadow, but you have to accept the truth:
right now you have to come with him,
though you totally dislike him.
you have an idea: you want to buy something that can break up the shadow.
However you realize this is so rediculous!
because you never know when or where the shadow shows up.
So you only have one choice: remove your food from all dark places
And put it in the sunshine, in a metal box.
you believe the shadow never can pierce the metal.
the unique place that can bathe the sunshine in your house is the balcony or deck.
But it's very miserable to leave the food out of your room.
suddenly you change your mind:
maybe you put the food in a metal box where you can see the invisible shadow show up
and you can figth the shadow!
So you prepare the weapon: a broom, you believe only the broom can remove the shadow.
Finally you feel very disappointed,
the shadow no longer shows up,
your foods dislike their metal box,
they all feel it's lake a stay in a jail.
A bird standing on a January tree
by David Du
A bird is standing on a tree.
the tree's branch has sprouted soft red buds.
The bird stops twittering.
or maybe his sound has melted into the sky.
Look back, all the snow shouts down his performance,
The streetrecovers its old appearance-
Dirty grey colors spread to the horizon...
If you don't see the maple leaves flag at an opposite building,
you don't think you have been in a place that should have
extreme cold and snow banks in January.
suddenly you think of a very ridiculous story- that the North Pole and South Pole
will turnover.
Actually when you see the bird look at you,
Its body not even shaking or trembing,
You have a feeling:
Oh My... this is not a ridiculous story.
The step of channge has approached you ,
Gradually, Gradually.
说实话,今天又有当地诗友问我一个以前问过无数遍的问题:你写英文诗是先写中文再翻英文吗?我説:不是,从来没做过,我写英文诗的时候是把自己当成一个外国人,一个英语为第一语言的人来写的!他们説很羡慕你一个英语为非母语的人能写英文诗。我説,这很正常,我在加拿大已经呆了10年了,英文还是一塌糊涂那就不是移民了!
