Alice Wu Poems

The damsel of the night,
Suddenly caught my eyes,
Outshone stars in the sky,
And wore a veil of mist,
...

A grasshopper was perched still
On the tip of the green bristle grass,
Like morning dew.
As if the summer would never pass.
...

Tears drenched my eyes.
Like a child committed a mistake,
Dismayed and distressed was I,
My heart throbbed and felt ache.
...

Stealthily and Imperceptibly,
I begot with someone a baby,
A fruit of desire or fun.
With my heart pierced,
...
