To share with you a poem I wrote several years ago in English:
A So-called Sonnet
I saw you today in the garden, oh tiny butterfly,
Resting on a tiny petal of a tiny flower.
There in you is where my heart’s secret lies
For so many years locked up in memories’ lost tower.
You were but a caterpillar curling beneath the leaves
But now you have transformed into a lovely creature.
This change is great and beyond my belief.
You witness the wonder of Nature.
Puppy love is that kind of romance
That, like a flower bud eaten by a worm,
It never has the chance to show the world its radiance.
Nor has the lovers’ love be affirmed.
Only true love, like caterpillars endure the test of time
Grows into a form sublime.
