Snowflake ( eat Peking duck in three different ways)

Actually this post isn't about how to eat a duck in three different ways ( 一鴨三吃), rather it's about how to write a poem in three different ways. I apologize if I misled you. If you're not interested in the poems you can jump directly to the end of the post where a link to the recipes of eating a duck in three different ways is provided.

 

The short English poem below was an haiku exercise I did on the past Tuesday. I like it a lot, so I wrote two Chinese poems with similar meaning that is like a duck whose every gram was consumed by me now by eating what's remaining cooked in a different recipe after each round, three rounds in a row.

 

Snowflake

 

You are so otherworldly.

With a speck of dust in your heart,

You are also very down to earth.

 

【七絕】雪花

 

玲瓏六角具觭骸，脫俗超凡天外來。

飄落人間接地氣，隻因心裏納塵埃。

 

注：

(1) 觭，Jī，古通“奇”，單一，唯一的意思。

(2) 雪花的形成開始於高空中的水蒸氣凝聚在空氣中飄浮的塵埃上。

 

雪花

 

你有六角玲瓏

獨一無二的形骸

 

你開始於一粒

升自大地的塵埃

 

你在天外完成蛻變

又飄飄然然歸來

 

你是超凡脫俗的精靈

又有最接地氣的胸懷

 

生於塵埃歸於塵埃

你的一生短暫精彩
