Oh, Lovely Jiufen! Poem by Carmina Abrenica

In deep awe I am forever
Of your enigmatic wonder
Your realness and simplicity
Your audacity and spontaneity
Your timidity that makes you brave
To the North, I came with a wave
Away from the crowd delighted
As I saw your beauty I was enchanted
The kind the rest may not have known
By surprise, a sight in my walk of lone
Your warmth, your dumplings I'd crave
Fond memoirs in my heart engraved
Palettes of red, blue, yellow and green
You painted all these where I've been
Oh, lovely Jiufen! I'm glad we've met
In a time, my worth I always forget
The caress of your wind once told
To hold on as better days shall unfold
