My Chopsticks Poem by Cigeng Zhang

'but a fisherman staying with salty light' these are the rewards of time spent watching waiting catching food to eat, catching the infinite wonder of changing light near water through seasons weather changes

Very alluring and mysterious, wondering how you first met this man and heard his poem, how did his picture somehow appear on your chopsticks, peaks my curiosity, wonderful poem. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

This is a very real fantasy, which might sound contradictory but your poem shows it's true. Your poem strikes me as anThe elusive person is first a picture on chopsticks, becomes the emory of someone you fleetingly encounteredd account ot the elusive nature of things or people we see only briefly but imagine so many possibilities. The figure on the chopsticks reminds you of someone who appeared in one of his own poems, and that poetic figure is very compelling. He is so real to your imagination, he will certainly be embodied in someone you meet in the real world. I had a teacher who told us, NOTHING CAN BE REAL WHICH HAS NOT FIRST BEEN IMAGINED. You have done this imaginative work in this smiling, upbeat, happy poem.

Wonderfully paraphrased natural phenomenon wrapped in to a poem. Thanks for sharing.
