Perdita Young (Hanna Wang) Poems

April brings the snow,
Makes many hearts glow.
What a fuss folks make,
Like gales in circles blow.
...

Once I chatted with an elderly man
just released from jail, who had no choice but
bottom-level jobs. I tried consoling
him that it was, after all, better than
...

A tipsy butterfly
lost its way
in a flowerless bush
...

Two stars appear in the dim sky,
When lovers gaze, admire in delight:
The time is short, dearer than gold-
One yearly parting, bestowed one night.
...

If love be a plant, what would it need
To well grow and bloom? That's a mystery
Lingering on and on in every person's mind,
Ever since the beginning of human history.
...

In the grip of coughing,
totally I lost freedom.

Water, one cup after another,
...

Some decades ago,
Mom had us near, and said so:
Five cents to each, of you two,
You buy tickets for the zoo.
...

I.
Back from dream, still in trance
Fire fights blazing in back streets
Making heart's fierce beats
...

Tender leaves of green,
Dewy to the eye,
Farewell to a Darling,
Always sad, oh sigh!
...

Deep are the autumn tints a-growing,
fallen leaves drift like butterflies;
colored flowers already are in sleep,
all is silence, absolutely quiet.
...
