I agree with everything Andrea says. I couldn't top that in a million years.

Are you going to put these poems in a book and try to get it published?

Dorie Snow/雪多丽's avatar

Yes I will. Thank you for your support and encouragement!

This is so soft it made my shoulders drop a little—like I accidentally wandered into a hug. The way your breath syncs the moment made me smile. Such a gentle, glowing piece.

Thank you, that is a lovely compliment

This poem is so tender and moving, I could feel every heartbeat and every breath.

但不是每个人都能自学成才,其中一个因素是“悟性”

加利福尼亚州 洛杉矶

Mostly Irvine and Pasadena which is far from me. Both are an hour drive in different directions if no traffic.

我在中国的时候表现得更好,我能说得很好。在美国我口语不好,因为没人跟我说话。

洛杉矶应该有不少华人吧

我们都祷告,看时间是否合适。你在哪个州?

你读中文圣经应该说没有问题的,你若愿意,可以参加我们中文网上读经聚会。这样你就有机会听、说中文了。

真的吗, 谢谢你, 放学后我会考虑一下。

口语需要环境,读写可以自学成才

This is beautiful, Dorie. It feels like that kind of love where everything softens, whether it’s a partner, a parent, or holding a child. That moment where two breaths fall into the same rhythm. Really lovely.

Dorie Snow/雪多丽's avatar

Thank you Andrea, it was a floating memory, I wrote down. I can’t seem to string words lately that are not nostalgic.

Andrea Thorfinson's avatar

Floating memories make some of the most beautiful pieces, I think. There’s so much feeling in the way you write, even when the strings aren’t coming easily. It’s lovely, truly.

With a rhythm to match the words: calm, measured

Dorie Snow/雪多丽's avatar

Thank you. I was not able to find compliment words with tonal parallelism for this one, so the Chinese version does not flow lyrically. The English however was a memory I wanted to keep close.

PancakeSushi's avatar

It's got to be hard to mesh the two. Kudos to you for even trying, I know I'd be banging my head against the wall

It is especially since I’m only at HSK 3 level. Perhaps as I go further it will get easier.
