去年10月7日，我在英文詩歌網站Allproetry上發表了一首英文詩《What's Your Language?》，當天被選上了首頁。今年11月份這首詩入選了Allproetry出版的詩集《Is There Ever An End》。詩的主題是：愛是人類共同的語言（Love is the same language we all speak）。詩中象征性地采用了五種語言文字包括漢字“愛”，而這個“愛”字也因此成為了詩集中唯一的漢字。
Is there ever an end? 詩集封底上的引用語（quote by Antonio Brown）回答了這個問題：“The journey never ends, you just have to do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.”現在正值歲末之際，借此和大家一起共勉。
《What's Your Language?》
love
answers a British girl
counting the ravens on Tower Bridge
amor
shouts a Spanish boy
kicking a ball in a soccer field
amour
says a French woman
sitting on the black iron bench under a sycamore tree
Liebe
whispers a German gentleman
riding a white horse in a forest
愛
speaks a Chinese lady
walking on the Great Wall with a purple skirt
Comments from Allproetry* :
brendan law - A wonderful piece with very good structure.
Stiff Little Shrew - Great idea. Perhaps all languages are languages of love after all.
Jferry - Yes, there are several ways and languages in which to celebrate love. And we should celebrate that fact ... as this lovely poem does.
Poetryan - Grá (love)
responds an Irish boy
reading a lovely poem in the comfort of a home

中文版本
《什麽是你的語言？》
愛
一個英國女孩回答
她在數塔橋上的烏鴉
愛
一個西班牙男孩喊道
他在足球場踢球
愛
一個法國女人說
她坐在梧桐樹下的黑色鐵椅上
愛
一位德國紳士低語
他在森林裏騎著一匹白馬
愛
一位中國女士說
她穿著紫色的裙子走在長城上
