Rose Lu's award winning poems:
IT'S NEITHER FRIVOLOUS NOR DRIFTY
Water in the river swells over its banks
Willow branches brush the water
It's neither frivolous nor drifty
Water in the ocean embraces the beaches
Waves caress the reefs
It's neither frivolous nor drifty
A FAN
One side is spring the other autumn
you are the spring I the autumn
the spring and the autumn
on opposite sides of a paper or the distance
between the corners of the world
spring and autumn
with temperatures alike
yet never belong
to the same season
