Nian Verses Virus. Poem by SY Wong ...

Nian Verses Virus.



The Nian and the Virus.
The big and minute
We got to run
Run and hide!
Away from the Nian
But not from the Virus
Home is our refuge!
Home is our refuge!
As we crack some light into the empty sky that night
The virus could be devouring that ferocious beast.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The Nian is a mythical animal as big as the dino (i guess) comes only during CNY to devour humans. The sound of fire crackers drives it away. Nobody knows where this animal comes from or lived. Believed to be around during CNY.
