Charles WOO Poems

Snatching leisure from busy schedule, I read poems freely.
They are sweet, bitter, fragrant and thick as the wonderful tea.
Some describe the heroic spirit of the ancient marshal.
Forced to get married, the poor girl chanted one with her fiddle.
...

Shadow of plum tree can be seen slanting in the water.
It grows near the stream and blooms beautiful flower.
The spring drizzle carefully moistens its blossoms which yawn.
Shone by the morning sun, it looks as rosy cloud at dawn.
...

Receiving letter from my daughter, I am so happy.
A few years has passed since she left home in a hurry.
The most pleasing words being ' I am safe and healthy! '
The contents about trivial are as sweet as honey.

Reputation of Han Dynasty went without limit.
Its literature popularized the whole world with merit.
Calligraphy is praised and spread today and in future.

Maple tree facing the sun looks vividly red.
Autumn wind shakes its leaves with morning dew embedded.
Chrysanthemum blooms therein and who cares their birth
It is the temple monk watering such wild earth.

Chinese calligraphy has no boundary.
Friends of Hong Kong gather here to work hardly.
We imitate the works of Wang's father and son
And follow the rules of the Qin and Tang penmen.
...

Raindrops jumped down after the angry crash of thunder.
Through the window, such loud noises woke the sound sleeper.
I could not sleep well and worried for the flowers.
During the long night, the rain attacked like bombers.
...

Red leaves flew over the boat near the island.
The maple tree murmured with cold dews moistened.
Cool autumn arrived after the hot summer.
Time passed without trace like the flowing water
...

While young, I did not know how to enjoy my leisure.
I worked for my future! I worked for my future!
I troubled troubles which were out of my measure.
While growing old, I know how to enjoy my leisure.
...

Although its large leaves are wet with cold dew,
Osmanthus blooms snow-white blossoms so new.
Winds shake its stamen and cross the palace.
Chang-er enjoys its fragrance with gladness.
