Sonnet 4 We Met On A Cross Road Poem by Sophy Chen
Sonnet 4 We Met On A Cross Road
— To Ruijie
I've searched you on web by all your key words
Thousands of times I failed with great sadness
By accident you appeared in my dream
Last night we met on our way to classroom
But I didn't know which University it was
It looks like around mountains, trees and cliffs
As if our departure we met on a cross road
With smile in vain at each other we looked
“Where are you going to? ” unnaturally I asked
“On my way to be a linguist” You said
“I'd like to be a poet” eagerly I said
With long hair dancing in the wind you nodded
Suddenly I was woken by women gossiping
Out side of window with some dogs barking

a delightful sonnet, it's so nice to think of a fried you haven't seen for a while. A lovely topic for a sonnet....10
A refined poetic imagination, Sophy. You may like to read my poem, Love And Lust. Thank you.
The topic of this poem is definitely friendship but its meaning is better expressed by the word in the photo you chose, namely, FATE. This is not a poem which blithely assumes we can get what we want. It does just the opposite: it shows how even chance conspires with fate to keep us locked into a life we did not choose but must still live through. I have been reading traditional Chinese poems for fifty years, and your poem echoes a very famikiar theme of the final meeting, the parting of two friends. It is heart-breaking but so true to life.
Dear Daniel Brick, Thanks for your long comments and I am so nice to get your comments really.I will keep writing in English. Thank you again Sophy Chen from China

Dreams are celestial gifts to human beings. One can see anything and derive happiness while in a dream. Rational or irrational, practical or impractical dreams are our good companions.More over they liberate the dreamer from their influence soon after his awakening.
Thanks Ratnakar Mandlik, What you said is true and i will keep doing! Sophy
