         February’s Rose

            By Bing Hua 
            Translation by Yingcai Xu


My heart
Is filled with February’s longing
I want to pull it out
And weave it into a rose garland
To hitch to your heart

My love
Is stung by a February’s rose
I want to bear the pain
While brew red wine with it to color my lips
And kiss you to strengthen your love

February’s rose
Will trade countless waiting nights
For just a moment to have a heart-to-heart talk with you
So the empathy in our hearts will bloom into a love chemical

February’s rose
Will trade countless daydreams
For you to come into my dreams
I’ll have no regret, no complaint, and no sorrow

February’s rose is like flame
That will warm up the chilly moon on winter nights
And set its greyness ablaze with a riot of colors
That will spread over the sea from shore to shore

小巷 诗/冰花 译/徐英才 五月或许六月 细雨柔风 吹进沉睡的小巷 梦一样的神话写满一墙 一位女子 倚窗 沐浴了午后的阳光 一双明眸在巷的另一头 七月般滚烫 五月或许六月 望到十月或许十一月的远方 小巷的墙上 多了一段美丽的诗行 ALLEY By Bing Hua (Rose Lu)  Translation by Xu Yingcai May or June Fine drizzle and soft breeze come into the slumbering alley Dreamland-like stories are written all over the wall A lady emerges at the window to bathe herself in the afternoon sunrays A pair of eyes appear at end of the alley bright and ardent as July Gazing from May or June to the distant October or November on that wall in that small alley is written another beautiful story 摘自《诗殿堂》第一期 http://poetryh.com/

Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose review by Deng Li （邓丽）

Top reviews from the United States KH 5.0 out of 5 stars Buy and smell the aroma of this February’s Rose! Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2024 Verified Purchase Bing Hua is one of my favorite Chinese poets. Her poetry is simple yet rich—simple to invite readers to read, yet rich in feelings and images. A good example is the poem "A Hand Fan:" “One side is spring, the other autumn.” Another good one is "Your Leaves and My Water:" “Your leaves / Have fallen into my yard / My water / Has wetted your lawn.” These words draw readers in and explore new realm of experiences. Bing Hua also has a magic way to express love through different seasons. She puts just enough ingredients to make her lines “taste” and “smell” good. Mr. Xu did a very good job to catch the 100 poems’ essences and styles in his translation. I highly recommend this book especially in this season.
