詩人不必依他所寫的思想活

詩人不必用行動証明他的文字

詩人只要徑自不斷地寫寫寫


文字中的我有这么多的面孔,我只不过是一个在我的文字中演戏的演员。我乐此不疲,我也不用按我写的去生活, 多么自在!


神奇的文字将我变成一个调酒师,我也用文字的浓酒把读者灌醉。



A Poem



 

A poem is more then stanzas

More than verses

More than sound or style

A poem is a way of seeing things

An ability to criticize life

It doesn't matter who expresses the ideas

Poetry is about message not form

Poetry is about ideas 

 

Poets don't have to live by the ideas they write

Poets don't have to justify their words with their own actions

Poets simply have to write and write and write

And say their message

That's what poetry really is





詩並非只關押韻分節 

並非只是韻文

並非只關音韻、形式

詩是一種看事情的方法

一種批評人生的能力

一種解釋生命的能力

詩有關信息非關形式

詩是思想


 

詩人不必依他所寫的思想活

詩人不必用行動証明他的文字

詩人只要徑自不斷地寫寫寫

把他們的信息傳答

這就是詩的真意
