As Snow Angels Sleep

as snow angels sleep
waters flow beneath thin crusts
chilled crocuses wait
in anticipation of spring
watchful snowmen keep vigil

Winter Red

frosty reddish orbs
dangling bare out in the cold
apples in winter

West Lake, Hangzhou










Pic by Lee Siu Wei

Arched bridge above swift streams, darkened pavilions stand
Twilight at early dusk cast shadows on the land
Weeping birch, willows hang, branches sway in the breeze
Sitting alone on the bench placed between the trees
Watching the Lei Feng Pagoda framed in the sky
Dark silhouette stands alone so serene and shy
Broken Bridge situated at the Bai Causeway there
Wavy reflections of sunset in West Lake bare
Reeds by the bank wave at slow boats and teahouses
Spring comes with misty rains, plum and magnolia flowers
As street musicians play, orioles sing sweetly
Colourful butterflies flutters about gently
