Dragon & Fairy In Poetry


                  Under fire-pouring tole roofs–filled with inspirational
                  core;
                  Though the draft was dirty, the verse should be
                  splendid
                  Repaying my muse’s boon after years to abyss
                  descended.

                   I used to be rapt in poetry even at the market stand
                   Only awakened when customers called for certain
                  brand;
                   I gave my wife a hand some five hours in the daytime,
                   Supporting a horde of children–hence pages of my
                  rhyme.

                  Now, here abroad I used to do so while on the work
                  site:
                  One hand parts to assemble, another scrabble to write.
                  The leader asked? “Noting... expenditure, total
                  owned!”
                  The supervisor laughed: “Hello, poet!” and...
                  condoned!

                  I have leaned on my pen entering life with a heart clear
                  – Poetry joins humans’ souls, friends far and near –
                  Silurids through old times from the bottom of mud
                  Managed to emerge, then have won their calm life-
                  blood.

                  Pages of poetry continue to increase, multiply every
                  day
                  Germinating faith, carrying sadness and misfortune
                  away.
                  Used to submitting myself to fate I have nothing to
                  regret;
                  Accustomed to utmost bane, such bit of adversity – no
                  sweat!
