Oh, Poetic Heart Is Not Old Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Oh, Poetic Heart Is Not Old

☆ Poetry and Translation by Luo Zhihai (China)


Woke up
Thought by myself
What time is it now?
The garbage truck on the road
Melodious music urging people to hurry
Oh, seven o’clock
At seven in the evening

Whenever I wake up
Always ask
What time is it now?
That is when I was in young and adult
Not
At that time
Worked by day
Slept at night
As unalterable principles
After waking up, did not ask
It’s six or seven o’clock in the morning
Oh, I am old

Full without anything to do
Surf internet, write poetry
Tired to fall asleep
Occasionally, go out for a walk
Reverse sun and moon
Get universe dizzy
Happy and pleased with myself
Oh, I am old

One year ago, today
I used
Twenty years of times
To write one hundred poems
Now
I have been among
One thousand ranks
Oh, I am old
But I'm just
Not satisfied with the old
Oh, poetic heart is not old

★ 哦，诗心不老

☆ 罗志海 新诗


睡醒
自忖
现在几点？
大路垃圾车
音乐悠扬摧人急
哦，七点
晚上七点

每当睡醒
总要问
现在几点？
这是青壮年时
没有的
那时
白天上班
晚上睡觉
天经地义
睡醒不用问
早上六七点
哦，我老了

吃饱没事干
上网写诗
累了，倒头就睡
偶尔，出去走走
颠倒日月
弄晕乾坤
怡然自得
哦，我老了

一年前的今天
我用
二十年岁月
写作百首诗篇
如今
我已跻身
千首行列
哦，我老了
但我就是
不服老
哦，诗心不老

注：一年前的今天，我在《诗词在线》网站发表了第一首诗歌《六月》，到如今，发表了1800多个帖子（包括中英文对照诗歌1300多首）。全然无意中，写了这首新诗，以作纪念。
