U Win Kyi Poems

Every year on Mother Day,
I have many words to say,
from here Old-Age home where I stay,
to my children who live far, far away,
...

Hello, my friend, ' long time, no see.'
meeting you here is full of bliss and glee.
Many years had passed since I left.
Many more years had flown very fast since we met.
...

Once there was a country,
ruled by a king with justice and prosperity.
The queen was such a beauty.
The civilian lived happily.
...

I am going to tell you a story,
Which is very famous in Myanmar literature history.
Once there was a young man living near a city,
With his widowed mother happily and peacefully.
...

When we were kids,
in a small village, we lived.
One day there occured a solar eclipse.
There was a traditional belief,

A 4-year-old daughter was murdered,
by a 45-year-old grandfather,
who had a love affair with his daughter-in-law,
who is a 23-year-old woman whose husband's heart got gnawed.
...

She is a brain-injured patient,
so gaunt with sunken eyes, cheek bone prominent.
Fate had stricken her relentless.
For many years, she has been lying flat,
...

When her husband died early,
she felt her world shattered suddenly.
He was the sole bread-earner.
She with no schooling became a manual worker.
...

He used dope.
He had no hope.
To it he could not say nope.
With his work he could not cope.
...

I was married to a rich man.
I thought my life would be like in heaven.
I was living in a house so grand,
riding the car with a famous brand,
...
