child?

Chinese or in English? Can you recite

Poems have beats. They may rhyme or
may not rhyme — but they have to have
rhythms.
This beat is not always obvious, but it’s
usually there.
Rhyme and rhythm are essential to poetry.
Without rhythm, there wouldn’t be poems.
Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are,
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.

We should have won …

The Willow The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade. By Meng Haoran
In the quiet night
So bright a gleam on the foot of my b
ed--
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it
was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought sudden
ly of my home.
By Li Bai

Sample translation of Tang poems
COMING HOME
I left home young, I return old.
Speaking as then, but with hair grow t
hin; and my children, meeting me, do
not know me.
They smile and say:
Stranger, where do you come from?
ON THE MOUNTAIN HOLIDAY
All alone in a foreign land.
I’m twice as homesick on this day,
when brothers carry dogwood up the
mountain, each of them a branch– and
my branch missing.
