Romance

George Chow 1976 (台灣)



Message birds insist.
pairs of kin eyes.
edges of falls.
In love of strong legs.
to hunt..
or to play.
playmates of divine.
pride to fear.
or to beetles band.
even frogs touch,
by accidents.
To many as promised.
an innocent child follows.
pass by a kin eye.
not teach..
but hopes of inspirations.
his God gifted paper.
her mom's words.
forever bears.
