Shih-Fang Wang

Spring in My Memory

 

Coldness diminished

Rumbling of water

From far to near

Broke the quietness

Soon it filled the ditches

Then drained into dry fields

 

Farmers came with buffalos

To plow their fields

From sunrise to sunset

Rice seedlings planted

Arid land turned verdant

 

Soon tadpoles swam

In the rice paddies

They grew faster than the rice plants

Then turned into frogs

That teamed up with grasshoppers

In chorus of spring songs
