Suddenly Dawned II - Bestsellers (Mar 20, 2009) - 117

The first journalist
After talking with a taxi driver
He was suddenly dawned on
That The World Is Flat

The second journalist
After talking with an online video renter
He was suddenly dawned on
That The Long Tail is selling less of more

The third journalist
After talking with a show designer
He was suddenly dawned on
That The Tipping Point makes a big difference

Two professors in Mid-west
After talking with a drug dealer
They were suddenly dawned on
That Freakonomics explores the hidden side of everything

Two professors in Europe
After talking with a circus owner
They were suddenly dawned on
That Blue Sea Strategy makes the competition irrelevant

Oh, my God
I am suddenly dawned on
That how to make
A Bestseller sells best

Decade II/Suddenly Dawned I (March 19, 2009) - 116

More than three decades ago
It suddenly dawned on me
That swimming is not that difficult

More than two decades ago
It suddenly dawned on me
That dancing is not that difficult

More than one decade ago
It suddenly dawned on me
That driving is not that difficult

More than a year ago
It suddenly dawned on me
That poetry composing is not that difficult

Now in this late-arriving spring
It suddenly dawned on me
That trading is not that difficult

Learning by doing
No one ahead
No one behind

Fake (March 18, 2009) - 115

Apparel can be fake
Food can be fake
House can be fake
Car can be fake
Money can be fake

Joy can be fake
Pain can be fake
Love can be fake
Hate can be fake
Mentality can be fake

Appearance can be fake
Age can be fake
CV can be fake
ID can be fake
Fake can be fake

Past can be fake
Future can be fake
Present cannot be fake
Body cannot be fake
Soul cannot be fake

Office (March 17, 2009) - 114

If you are a helicopter
Sorry our garden is too small
For you to land

If you are a yacht
Sorry we do not own a dock
For your berthing

If you are an alligator
Sorry please enter via city sewers
There is no other way to go


Now if you are a car
We do offer two options
Underground or ground parking

Life VIII - Contradiction (March 16, 2009) - 113

You are sleeping
But you might not be asleep

You are awake
But you might not be sober

You are relaxed
But you might be nervous

You are not alone
But you might be lonely

You are joyful
But you might be painful

You are happy
But you might be unsatisfied

You own everything
But you might own nothing

Life is a journey
Destination is an illution
Make your mentality
Be your rest area

Language (March 15, 2009) - 112

Which language do you use when you think
Which language do you use when you speak
Which language do you use when you read
Which language do you use when you write

Which language you use when you are happy
Which language you use when you are angry
Which language you use when you are worried
Which language you use when you are touched

Which language you use when you are in hometown
Which language you use when you are in motherland
Which language you use when you are at home
Which language you use when you are at work

Language is your lighthouse
Language is your roof window
Language is your spyglass
Language is your magnifier

Every language you speak
You are a different person
Every language you master
You are a different soul

Driver License (March 8, 2009) - 111

A dozen years ago
In Iowa City Mid-West
I was stopped by a police officer
I was questioned why I drove so crazy
I told him I just got my driver license
After checking my driver license
He just let me go

A decade ago
In Union City Silicon Valley
I was stopped by a police officer
I was questioned if I was drunken
I said no without any hesitation
After checking my driver license
He just let me go

Four years ago
In Munich downtown
I was stopped by a police officer
I was questioned why I made an illegal U-turn
I said I was a visitor to the city
After checking my driver license
He just let me go

A few hours ago tonight
In downtown Shanghai
I was stopped by a police officer
I was questioned why I entered the wrong one-way street
I said I did not know it is a one-way street
After checking my driver license
He just let me go

Life VII - Digital Life (March 4, 2009) - 110

No iPod
No MP4
No TV
Only Internet

No MSN
No Skype
No FaceBook
Only Twitter and l<x>inkedIn

No listening
No reading
No talking
Only thinking and writing

No fiction
No prose
No autobiography
Only poetry

No walking
No sailing
No flying
Only driving

No fear
No uncertainty
No dismay
Only confidence

No left
No right
No backward
Only forward

Achievement (February 27, 2009) - 109

When an infant starts to talk
It is a magnificent achievement
When a kid starts to walk
It is a magnificent achievement
When a teenage gets into the dream college
It is a magnificent achievement
When a fresh graduate lands the dream job
It is a magnificent achievement
When an immigrant gets naturalized
It is a magnificent achievement
When a son becomes a Dad
It is a magnificent achievement
When an employee becomes an employer
It is a magnificent achievement
When a poet relocates to a remote island
It is a magnificent achievement
When a global citizen immigrants to the Moon
It is a magnificent achievement

Every achievement is a milestone
Every achievement is a stepping stone
You sow the seed of dream
You reap the fruit of achievement
Joy of achievement is instant
Pain of achievement is constant
In the journey of achievement
There is no end of beginning
There is no beginning of end
It is the way of life

Assets (February 24, 2009) - 108

All tangible assets I own are
A darling wife I drive every night
Fast or slow I control
A beloved lover I engage with every day
Plain or colorful I compose
They are my car and poetry

All intangible assets I own are
Two great growing sons
One was born in 2001
The other was born in 2002
One was born in winter
The other was born in summer

When I came to this world
I did not bring anything with me
When I leave this world
I shall take nothing with me
I am grateful to the world
I am grateful to the Lord

Internet (February 21, 2009) - 107

No Internet to me, it is like
A hunting ground loses its hunter
A hunter loses its gun
A gun loses its target
A target loses its bull's eye

No Internet to me, it is like
Spring without thunder lightning
Summer without shining stars
Fall without falling leaves
Winter without white snow

Oh, My Internet
You are my eyes
You are my ears
You are my nose
You are my mouth

Oh, My Internet
You are my phone
You are my car
You are my home
You are my dream

Life VI - Poetic Life (February 19, 2009) - 106

At A Night Before Christmas full of Raising Sand
Like one of those Sleepless Nights in the winter
On the Blue Side Of The Mountain
Near the Long Road Out Of Eden
Many Moons hanging Around The Campfire
The Inconvenient Truth Waiting In The Weeds
Killing The Blues by Dancing In The Light
Enjoying The New Crystal Silence Simply Grand

Here I Stand on Higher Ground East To West
With Ribbon In The Sky just Seven Steps To Heaven
Be The Dark Knight with Life Beyond Measure
Like Heroes Of Our Time singing That Lonesome Song
Master The Art Of Peace in The Scent Of Light
Enjoy The Ride Down In The Valley
Let The Wind Chase You Jingle All The Way
In Big Round World it is an Amazing Big Journey

Life V - Portrait of Life (February 15, 2009) - 105

Every day is a holiday
Every night is a delight

No town is hometown
No land is homeland

New is old
Old is new

Free is not freedom
Freedom is not free

No one ahead
No one behind

Life is you
Life is here
Life is now
Life is just do it

1001 Nights (February 14, 2009) - 104

Cold or warm, I prefer cold
Winter or Spring, I prefer Spring
Sunny or rainy, I prefer rainy
Day or night, I prefer night

In such a cold Spring rainy night
Let me open a window for you
Let me light a candle for you
Let me tell you the Stories
From the Thousand and One Nights

Market (February 9, 2009) - 103

Where there is demand
There is supply

Where there is purchase
There is sales

Where there is main stream
There is niche

Where there is commodity
There is luxury

Where there is gain
There is loss

Where there is risk
There is opportunity

Where there is red sea
There is blue sea

Where there is bull
There is bear

But there is something
Money cannot buy

Drive to Beijing from Shanghai V - On the Road II (February 8, 2009) - 102

On the road
Fog, rain and cold
Fear, uncertainty and dismay
Whatever happens
You have to go ahead

Mile by mile
Town by town
Rest area by rest area
Minute by minute
Hour by hour

You have to possess vigilance
You have to possess strength
You have to possess patience
You have to possess endurance
You have to possess confidence

No one ahead
No one behind
Do not be timid
You will hit the end

Drive to Beijing from Shanghai IV - Beijing Impression (February 3, 2009) - 101

Modern on its face
History in its body
High-tech in its muscles
Culture in its heart

A city with all roads straight
A city with all accents standardized
A city gathers so many talents
A city draws so many elites

A city once studying
Now revisiting
A city once cycling
Now driving

A city makes Washington be serious
A city makes London be jealous
A city makes Tokyo be inferior
A city makes Shanghai be nervous

Here I tell my son I want to try something new
Here my son tells me he wants to try something old
Here I tell my son life is good
Here my son tells me life is tough
Here I tell my son I want to be a full-time poet
Here my son tells me he wants to be a full-time fool

Life is about experience
Experience depends on your interpretation
Interpretation depends on your calibration
Calibration depends on your judgement

Be your own ruler
Be your own Judge

Here I refresh my memory
Here I renew my energy

Drive to Bejing from Shanghai III - Lotus Pond (February 1, 2009) - 100

Same campus
Different students

Same pond
Different lotus

Same trees
Different leaves

Same bench
Different sitters

Same space
Different time

Same scene
Different sentiment

My gorgeous Lotus Pond
My good old day

Drive to Bejing From Shanghai II - On the Road I (January 31, 2009) - 99

Passing the Convinience Store
Passing the Metro Station
Passing the Five-Continent boulevard
Passing misty Yangtz River

One hand on the wheel
One hand with a coke
Radio on the head
Eyes on the road ahead

Watching the sunrise at early morning
Watching the sunset at late evening
Passing icy Yellow River
Finally getting to the hometown of Confucius

Why not try something other than WestLife
Forget about Eagle at Hotel California
Embrace Earth Wind and Fire
U2 in such a Beautiful Day

Harbor (January 27, 2009) - 98

Not your harbor
Not your airport
Not your train station
Not your parking lot

A ship seeking a harbor for berthing
Just like you
A plane seeking an airport for landing
Just like you
A train seeking a train station for stoping
Just like you
A car seeking a parking lot for parking
Just like you

If cannot change the world
Change yourself
If cannot change yourself
Change the world

Do it here, do it now
Do whatever you want to do
Be positive, be confident
Be whatever you want to be

Drive to Beijing from Shanghai I - Planning (January 26, 2009) - 97

Eight hundred miles
From south to north
From coast to inner land
You can go by air
You can go by train
You can go by bus
But I choose to drive
In such cold winter alone

Prepare lodging
Prepare water
Prepare food
Prepare music
Wheel in your single hand
Direction under your own control
Pedal under your single foot
Speed under your own control

It was not from SF to LA in 1996
It is from Shanghai to Beijing in 2009

Life IV - Essence of Life (January 23, 2009) - 96

What is life
Where is life
When is life
How is life

If life is the sea
You are the ship sailing
If life is the sky
You are the plane flying
If life is the road
You are the car moving

Life is your brain storming
Life is your heart beating
Life is your lung breathing
Life is your blood circulating
Life is your eyes watching
Life is your ears listening
Life is your mouth talking
Life is your nose smelling
Life is your tongue tasting
Life is your fingers touching

Life is you
Life is here
Life is now
Life is just do it

Life III - Artistic Life (January 23, 2009) - 95

Every day is a story
Every night is a poem

Every start is a paradise
Every stop is a haven

Every road is straight
Every light is green

Every town is hometown
Every land is homeland

Every dream becomes true
Every fantasy becomes reality

Your style is immortal
Your characteristic is eternal

Free (January 18, 2009) - 94

No matter how long it takes
Eventually everything will be free
I am not kidding
You are not dreaming

Clothing will be free
Food will be free
Accomodation will be free
Traveling will be free

There will be no salary
There will be no tax
There will be no tuition
There will be no alimony

Remember free is not freedom
And freedom is not free

Map (January 17, 2009) - 93

Two-D blueprint
Three-D imagination
Town map
City map
Country map
Continent map
World map

I enjoy reading maps
I enjoy collecting maps
From DMV
From bookstore
Wherever I go
Whatever I do

What GPS offers is direction
What map offers is view
Whether local or global
Whether modern or historical

Map stores my memory
Map fulfills my dream

Mid-night (January 16, 2009) - 92

Silent cold mid-night
After a loud hot shower
In front of the magnificent map
Have a cup of solid Scotch Whisky
Ignore the exaggerated radio gossip
On the road to the paradise of dream

German Impression (January 15, 2009) - 91

To understand a country
You might start from airliner
To understand a city
You might start from airport

In a unfamiliar country
With a unfamiliar language
In a unfamiliar city
Through a unfamiliar highway
To find a unfamiliar hotel
Located in unfamiliar street

Not just Swan Lake
Not just Neuschwanstein Castle
Not just high-speed trains
Not just luxury cars
Not just cool beers
Not just delicious sausages

It is a land of poetry
It is a land of philosophy
It is a land of discipline
It is a land of efficiency

Right Here, Right Now (January 9, 2009) - 90

Right now if you are online
Most likely you must be off road
Whether you are at work, at home or elsewhere
You must be in a room, whether big or small
Your room must be in a building, whether big or small
Your building must be in a town, whether in city or countryside
Your town must be in a continent, whether big or small
Your continent must be on the globe, tiny part of the universe
Right here, it is a small world in the big universe
Right now, it is a short moment in the long history
The longest distance is the distance between souls
The ultimate truth is the truth that no one believes
There is a will, there is a way
He who laughs last, laughs best

New II (January 7, 2009) - 89

New year
New office
New home
New community
New neighborhood
New people

New IP address
New phone number
New parking lot
New gas station
New supermarket
New restaurant

New life
New journey
New is old
Old is new

New I (December 31, 2008) - 88

You have to admit
No one hates new
I like new
Because I am creative
I like new
Because I am innovative
I like new
Because I am positive
I like new
Because I am confident

New offers imagination
New offers hope
New offers opportunity
New represents frontier

Trust me or not
World was created to be beautiful
Trust me or not
People were born to be nice
Trust me or not
Life is supposed to be good
Trust me or not
Future is supposed to be bright

Whoever you are
Wherever you are
Whatever you do
My fellow reader
Happy New Year

Enlightenment (December 25, 2008) - 87

Technology advancement is so amazing
Once a cell phone looked like a brick
Now it looks like a card
Once a home theater looked like a suitcase
Now it looks like a wallpaper
GPS becomes your universal map
Wikipedia becomes your instant encyclopedia
Gadgets become smaller and smarter
Knowledge becomes commodity instead of luxury

Do not be out of joy
Sit down and think it over
How much do we know about ourselves
How much do we know about the universe
How much do we know about our planet
Where did we come from
Where are we going
How old is the universe
How big is the universe

Darwin developed the Theory of Evolution
But he failed to convince us the origin of life
Einstein discovered the Theory of Relativity
But he failed to explain the formation of universe
Science is too superficial
Technology is just pragmatic
Whoever you trust
Whatever you believe
Trust yourself and love the world

Gap II (December 23, 2008) - 86

You are suffering in cold winter expecting sunshine
They are struggling in hot summer waiting for moon light
You are breathing at the peak of great mountain
They are suffocating in the bottom of deep sea
You are driving at the maximum allowed speed
They are moving below the minimum allowed speed
What you ask for hot chocolate
What they offer you ice cream
What you want is to go
What they insist is for here

You believe in simple is beautiful
You prefer what you can see is what you can get
You enjoy show the results immediately
Do not complain, do not blame
If you cannot tolerate the difference
Just try a difference way
There is a will
There is a way

Change I (December 19, 2008) - 85

Gas price is lowered
Road construction fee is eliminated
Driver license gets renewed
And direct flight to Taiwan gets opened

Three decades passed
A tree becomes a forest
A boy becomes a man
A son becomes a dad

The climate gets warmer
The globe gets smaller
Every day is a holiday
Every year is a great year

The only unchanged is change
The only change is unchanged

Color of Night (December 15, 2008) - 84

Sky is dark
Moon is white
Music is blue
Street light is yellow
Traffic light is green
Brake light is red

In the jungle of skyscrapers
You are just a tree
In the sea of cars
You are just a fish

On the road
There must be a reason
In the mood
There must be a clue

No matter where you start
You shall reach your destination
No matter where you go
You will be back to your home

Choose your own route
Control your own speed
Your dream is in your mind
Your future is in your hand

Night is cold
Life is good

Moving (December 14, 2008) - 83

Two decades ago when moving
I just had two suitcases to handle
One decade ago when moving
I could pack all I had in my hatchback
Now when moving
I need to hire a pickup

Moving is painful
No one wants to move
Changing is unpredictable
No one wants to change

What to keep
What to sell
What to donate

I can sell anything
Except my books
I can donate anything
Except my maps

From continent to continent
From country to country
From city to city
From town to town

I wish my car can fly
I wish there is no traffic light

Inspiration (December 11, 2008) - 82

It might happen
anytime anywhere in anyway
But you do not know
when where and how

It is holy oracle
It is the stairway to heaven
It is the field of gold
It is crown jewelry

It is instant instead of constant
It is unconscious instead of deliberate
It is disposable instead of reusable
It is for here instead of to go

How can I survive without you
Only you, only you

Winter Rain (December 10, 2008) - 81

Fame (December, 2008) - 80

Cloud in the sky
Moon in the water
Flower in the mirror
Candle in the wind

It might make you hungry
It might make you thirsty
It might make you breathless
It might make you clueless

Source of joy
Source of pleasure
Source of satisfaction
Source of ambition
Source of pain
Source of remorse
Source of envy
Source of hate

For some people
It is priceless
For some people
It is worthless
For some people
It is commodity
For some people
It is luxury

What is a colorful life
When you use it as seasoning
What is a miserable life
When you use it as doping

Go your own way
Sing your own song
Road under your foot
Sun above your head

Spotlight (December 6, 2008) - 79

On such a grand stage
In such a tiny cage

I know you are busy
In the spotlight
I know you are dizzy
In the spotlight
I know you are lucky
In the spotlight
I know you are shaky
In the spotlight

What you think is not what you listen
What you say is not what you think
What you do is not what you say
What you enjoy is not what you do

You are an actor instead of director
You are a character instead of creator
You are ignorant instead of illiterate
You are lonely instead of alone

You cry when you smile
You smile when you cry
You are in the spotlight
Your own spotlight

Poet II (December 4, 2008) - 78

A poet is a life observer
A poet is a day dreamer
A poet is a log keeper
A poet is a story teller

A great poet is a philosopher
A great poet is a photographer
A great poet is a psychologist
A great poet is a pianist
A great poet is a historian
A great poet is a traveler
A great poet is a gourmet
A great poet is a bartender

A great poet is a innovator
A great poet is a transformer
A great poet is a eliminator
A great poet is a creator
A great poet is a shaker
A great poet is a mover
A great poet is a learner
A great poet is a mentor

A great poet is a opportunity seeker
A great poet is a risk taker
A great poet is a pacemaker
A great poet is a peace lover
A great poet is a lonely thinker
A great poet is a cheerleader
A great poet has no forerunner
A great poet has no follower

What you sow is your passion
In the soil of technique
What you reap is inspiration
With the joy of satisfaction

Poetry is to release
Release yourself first
And then to release someone else

Poetry is to motivate
Motivate yourself first
And then to motivate someone else

Poetry is to entertain
Entertain yourself first
And then to entertain someone else

Poetry is to trust
Trust yourself first
And then to trust someone else

Be graphic
Be symbolic
Be romantic
Be realistic
Be idealistic
Be skeptic
Be classic
Be modern
Be dramatic
Be fantastic

Be a poet, be a great poet
No one ahead, no one behind

Poet I (December 2, 2008) - 77

Once a noble profession
Now only a part-time job
Once the focus of attention
Now you need a poet's corner

No great poet without pride
No great poet without sensibility
No great poet without passion
No great poet without inspiration

No great poet is rich
No great poet has power
No great poet can survive without love
No great poet can sustain without freedom

Weaver of language
Mixer of sound
Recorder of life
Recorder of love

Universe is your space
History is your time
Mankind is your family
Audience is your lover

No poet was born a poet
No great poet was born a great poet
Masterpiece is your offspring
Fame is your by-product

Be a cynic
Be a narcissist
Be a paranoid
Be yourself

Do not envy
Do not complain
Be a poet
Be a great poet

Decade (November 29, 2008) - 76

When you ask so many questions that your mom does not know how to answer
While you sit at the front of your mom��s bike
When you jump into water while your dad is not watching you
While you do not know how to swim and cry to ask for your dad��s help
When you are proud of yourself as your teacher visiting your home
While most of your classmates are fear of your teacher��s home visiting
You are in the first decade of your life

When you start to compete at school after taking your parents�� suggestion
As you know studying hard is the only way to change your life
When you are lazy on-campus while not at home
As you want to be different to your classmates
When you are dreaming to move to your capital for further study
As you want to get into the best school in the nation
You are in the second decade of your life

When you are surprised there are so many smart classmates around you
After you leave your hometown and ride on your bike in the most beautiful campus
When you start to treat English like your native language
After you see so many schoolmates go abroad by passing English test
When you are in a plane for the first time heading towards a strange land
After your pass so many tests and contact so many professors
You are in the third decade of your life

When you surprises your peers who say why Chinese are so smart
When you are out of joy after owning your first used car
When your local roommate asks for a coffee after coaching you on how to drive
When your advisor complains you are running too fast
When you turn down one job offer and go for another
When you work in the industry as a CEO-under-training
You are in the third decade of your life

When your customer becomes your boss
When your freedom becomes your burden
When your daily job is to create jobs
When you nightly job is to create poems
When no town becomes your hometown
When no land becomes your homeland
You are in the fourth decade of your life

How many decades have you gone through?
How many decades are you expecting to proceed?
Living is writing
Life like a drama

Morning I (November 28, 2008) - 75

Shining sunlight penetrating the bright window
On the balcony in the wind of winter
Gently waking me up
In the dream of wonderland

Two eyes wide open on three-mattress covered floor
Gazing my map of China on the left side of the wall
Gazing my map of US on the right side of the wall
Looking up my map of the world on the ceiling

Your vision could be sharper than your eyesight
Your heart could be bigger than your world
Your future could be brighter than your dream
Your life could be happier than your imagination

Say what you want to say
Go where you want to go
See what you want to see
Do what you want to do

If not here, where?
If not now, when?
If not this way, how?
If not me, who?

Right here, right now
Just do it, just do it

Thanksgiving (November 24, 2008) - 74

All cars are parked
All stores are closed
All streets are vacant
All communities are silent

All houses are crowded
All tables are occupied
All gourmet are served
All families are united

Warmest heart
Hottest dinner
Thanksgiving
Thanks giving

Son I - Model (November 21, 2008) - 73

At the beginning of the century
In the year of dragon
On a typical sunny summer day
While mowing at the backyard
I saw a tiny snake on the lawn
Without any hesitation I just let it go
In less than a year
My son was born

Before one of his birthdays
I sent him a nice model car
At the dinner table
When face to face
I asked if he likes the car or not
He said it is just a model car
I said it is not a model of my car
Instead it is a model of your life

Growing is fun
Growing has pain
Son, I am here
Watching you

Sports (November 19, 2008) - 72

You can race
You can sail
You can climb
You can glide

You are the jaguar
You are the shark
You are the lynx
You are the vulture

Enjoy your land
Enjoy your sea
Enjoy your mountain
Enjoy your sky

When you are playing
You are being played

Future (November 17, 2008) - 71

Three-D space of imagination
Sixth Element of hope
Major source of aspiration
Ultimate destination of dream

A picture you can paint
A story you can create
One way trip you have to take
Dead end road you have to hit

It can hardly be predicted
It can be barely trusted
What you can pick might not be what you expect
What you will own might not be what you want

No roadmap, no blueprint
Just follow your gut

Airport (November 12, 2008) - 70

Once park my car at the long term parking
Check myself in at the counter
Find my seat in the plane
Turn off my cell phone
When wait for the plane to take off
I know it is a new journey

Once the plane touches the ground
Get my rental car
Turn the GPS on
Enter my hotel address
When get into the highway
I know the prospect is on the way

Just another day
Just another way

Rain (November 7, 2008) - 69

Descend from the sky
Strike the mountain
Strike the river
Strike my mind

You are my cleaner
You are my humidifier
You are my cooler
You are my washer

You make my night poetic
You make my day dramatic
You make my past memorable
You make my future tangible

You are my oasis in the desert
You are my island in the sea
You are my ore in the land
You are my soul in the body

Born as vapor
Gone as vapor

Destiny II/Election II (November 5, 2008) - 68

In such a grand universe
Your body will vanish
Your soul will last
In the form of gene

You have to admit
People are different
Some are smart
Some are intelligent

Do not envy
Do not complain
Do not wait
Do not stop

In good mood
In good spirit
With right direction
With right attitude

Do not attempt to change
All have been arranged

Night IV (November 2, 2008) - 67

Cold night is rainy
Imaging the steps of winter
Warm heart is shinning
Remembering the days of Summer

In-car music is loud
Poet��s mind is silent
Street lighting is dim
Future direction is bright

Life is a one-way journey
Spanning from birth to death
Hitting each milestone called hope
Pursing satisfaction named happiness

Too many landscapes on the road
Life is so good

Gratitude (October 29, 2008) - 66

Be grateful
When you breathe in the fresh air
Be grateful
When you drink the clean water

Be grateful
When you fly in the cloudless sky
Be grateful
When you drive on a no-speed-limit highway

Be grateful
When people cares about you
Be grateful
When people serve you

Be grateful
When you live in a peaceful world
Be grateful
When you belong to a harmonious society

All you own will be paid
All you contribute will be counted

Feeling (October 27, 2008) - 65

When you feel weak
It is not strong
When you feel dizzy
It is not sober

When you feel distracted
It is not concentrated
When you feel ambiguous
It is not clear

When you feel bad
It is not good
When you feel touching
It is not indifferent

Fear is feeling
Uncertainty is feeling
Doubt is feeling
Dismay is feeling

Feeling is perception
Feeling is intuition
Feeling is illusion
Feeling is feeling

Night III (October 25, 2008) - 64

When you feel dizzy
At night on the highway
Do not take the risk
Pull off your car right away

Put your brake on
Shut down your engine
Take a deep breath
Have a short break

When you proceed
Merge with the traffic
Open up windows
Turn on the music

Stay focused
Stay controlled
Stay confident
Move in full speed

Do not be timid
You have to go ahead

Barber Shop (October 24, 2008) - 63

Same quiet street
Same quiet shop
Same quiet chair
Same quiet barber

For the same head
You may have different styles
For the same style
You may have different results

Too few time to read
Too few time to write
Too few time to think
Too few time to select

No matter how competitive you are
There is something you cannot do

Winter (October 22, 2008) - 62

All are drunken
Only I am sober
All are sleepy
Only I am awake

All are pessimistic
Only I am optimistic
All are thinking
Only I am acting

All are leaving
Only I am staying
All are selling
Only I am buying

All are slowing down
Only I am speeding up
All are missing
Only I am hitting

If Winter is coming
Will Spring be far away

Chemistry (October 21, 2008) - 61

Not at Lotus Pond
Not at Unnamed Lake
Not at Diamond Head
Not at Pebble Beach

Without full moon
Without shining star
Without fine wine
Without blossoming flower

You are oxygen from the heaven
I'd like to be hydrogen in the hell
To acquire you, merge with you and burn with you
Make the holly water of life

Naturally born
Naturally gone

Night II (October 18, 2008) - 60

On the lonely highway
Underneath the dark sky
In the fast moving lane
Out of my mind

Dim lights in front of the eye
Wild wind behind the ear
Speed is illusion
Acceleration is illusion

In moving car
Body keeps still
In moving body
Soul keeps still

No one ahead
No one behind

Winning (October 13, 2008) - 59

It is amazing
Why same team same equipment
Today you win
Yesterday you lost

Strategy, tactics and vision
The best offense is defense
Timing, team and location
The best competition is cooperation

From battlefield to battlefield
From victory to victory
From arena to arena
From glory to glory

Losers might win
Winners might lose
To lose is to win
To win is to lose

There is no magic for succeeding
There is no silver bullet for winning

History II (October 12, 2008) - 58

Such a bright mirror
So dramatic
So poetic
So historic

In the mirror, do you see
Masters and servants
Landlords and tenants
Generals and soldiers

In the mirror, do you see
Dividing and conquering
Rising and falling
Separating and Reunioning

It is mirror of memorization
What you see is just reflection

History I (October 8, 2008) - 57

It is a grand library
Every book is a country
Every chapter is a dynasty
Every chapter has its own glory

Some books are missing
Some books are still expanding
Some chapters are fascinating
Some chapters are boring

You may choose your own books
But you cannot choose your own chapters
There are many readers
But only very few writers

Be grateful to the library owner
Be humble as a library user

Door (September 30, 2008) - 56

In deep space
There is no air
To walk in space
You have to open the door

There are so many doors
There are so many ways
Have many doors have you opened?
Have many ways have you found?

Some doors are small
Some doors are big
Some doors are hidden
Some doors are visible

Some doors are open
Some doors are closed
Some doors are broken
Some doors are perfect

Some doors are firm
Some doors are fragile
Some doors are sophisticated
Some doors are simple

If you plan to get in through doors
Why waste time on windows?
If your favorite is orange
Why waste time on apple?

If your source is open
Why make your destination closed?
If your reality is virtual
Why make your dream real?

If you cannot open front door
Why not try back door?
If you cannot open the door once
Why not try it twice?

There is a door
There is a way
There is a way
There is a light

Do not be timid
Just go ahead

Idea (September 27, 2008) - 55

Oh my God
What a world
Ideas can be priced
Ideas can be sold

Oh my God
What a world
Ideas can be copied
Ideas can be traded

Ideas are cheap
When my ideas suddenly become your ideas
Ideas are expensive
When you have to solely rely on my ideas

Do not attempt to change to the world
Since the distance between reality and imagination is far
Do not attempt to acquire the world
No matter how deep your pockets are

You can control your mind
You cannot control the mind
You can win your world
You cannot win the world

In my mind in this world
There is something money cannot buy

Feast (September 24, 2008) - 54

In such a fascinating evening
Waiters are waiting
Singers are singing
Dinners are dinning

So many tables
So many gourmets
Too many flavors
Too many choices

Some people are toasting
Some people are tasting
Some people are arriving
Some people are departing

No night without daybreak
No feast lasts forever

Toothbrush (September 21, 2008) - 53

Collection of toothbrushes
In different brands
With different length, materials and colors
Sit in different paper cups

Those paper cups
In different brands
With different size, textures and colors
Are marked with different tags

Every tag in different color and font
Has a different story
Every day produces story
Every night composes poetry

Those lovely toothbrushes
Those unforgettable moments

Moment II (September 19, 2008) - 52

Heavy moon in clear sky
Light music in fresh air
At the crossroad
Near the sidewalk

Have seat you decline to sit
Have stories you insist to shield
Have wine you hesitate to taste
Have tears you put on hold

Hit what you should miss
Miss what you should hit
Gain what you should lose
Lose what you should gain

All doors opened for you
All roads ahead of you
All options available to you
All dreams waiting for you

You left your smile in fall night
I carved your soul on my heart

The Day after Tomorrow (September 19, 2008) - 51

Fall night west suburb parking lots
Shallow blue sky messy clouds
Shining lights busy tennis courses
At car side lots of random thoughts

When fall looks like summer
When earthquake happens more frequent
When cyclone hardly can predict
When venture capital becomes vapor catalyst

How come investment bank cannot invest on itself?
How come insurance company cannot insure itself?
How come commodities are sold as luxuries?
How come market economy has to be saved by government?

If you are a driver
Do not panic
Think about winter
Save gas, food and water in your trunk

What is success?
Enjoy the process

Search (September 12, 2008) - 50

In thick ice covered deep blue ocean fishing
In heavy white snow wrapped steep green hill hunting
In hot dead vast inner desert roaming
In cold silent deep outer space exploring

Process of determination
Problem and solution
Desire and satisfaction
Reality and expectation

The larger accumulation
The higher precision
The more preparation
The less execution

Life follows the law of conservation
There is problem without solution
There is desire without satisfaction
There is reality cannot meet expectation

When you hit it
Do not be too pleased
When you miss it
Do not be too sad

Enjoy the process, ignore the results
It is the essence of happiness

Luxury I - Hot Summer Road (September 8, 2008) - 49

It is not hot summer any more
Yet still feel the heat at the floor

Tonight at Hot Summer Road
Stop and park at the roadside
Hold watermelons in one hand
Carry grapes in the other hand

Do you get fed up with routine jobs?
Working out at gyms
Shopping around at grocery stores
Filling gas at gas stations

Without change
No drama is dramatic
No novel is novel
No satisfaction is satisfied

Your life is your poetry
Your freedom is your luxury

Emergency (September 3, 2008) - 48

At the end of a typical working day
Walk straight down the stairway
Start the engine to head on the way
Pull the car out of the garage

Roads packed with cars
cars packed with riders
Riders full of eagerness in their eyes
Like flashing lights at crossroads

There is noise in the air
There is warning signal on the dashboard
Stop to check on the roadside
Detour back home with a flat tire

Every night is a story
The beauty of life is its uncertainty

Night (September 2, 2008) - 47

At night, it is dark
No more traffic
Have a break
Listen to Serenade

You do not wear your mask
You do not need to work
You do not watch your clock
You have time to think

Do not drive too hard
Stop at your cross road
Think about your road ahead
The more haste, less speed

On the road, in the mood
Cherish sunset, embrace daybreak

Poetry II/Puzzles I (August 31, 2008) - 46

In the family of literature
Only poetry is the champion of creative writing
But exactly what is the essence of poetry
From a poet's perspective in modern society?

Sonnets, Jintishi, Villanelle, Ruba'i, Sijo and Sestina
Ode, Ghazal, Pantoum, Rondeau, Haiku, Ghazal and Tanka
Lots of poetic forms
Which one is your top choice?

Narrative Poetry, Epic Poetry and Dramatic Poetry
Satirical Poetry, Lyric Poetry, Verse Fable and Prose Poetry
So many poetic genres
How did Prose Poetry become your most favorite?

Certain poems are ba<x>sed on personal memoir
Certain poems are originated from social observation
Certain poems are inspired by philosophical speculation
What is your source of inspirations when initiating poetry composing?

Joy, sorrow, love and hate in a lonely soul
Time, space, matter and energy in a vast universe
How much shall a passionate poet be allowed
To reveal his secret inner world to the audience?

To be a great poet, one needs both skills and passion
While skills can be accumulated over time
Passion can be hardly generated even with the best catalysis
So was a poet born to be poet or not?

In a rational business world full of commodities
In chasing time-to-market and maximizing shareholder values
How can aesthetic luxury like emotional poetry
Survive and even prosper in the 21st century?

From Gift Economy to Money Economy
From global warming to information explosion
Email, SMS, IM, Blog, Podcast and SNS are squeezing the territory of Newspapers, TV and radio
How can poetry attract netizens' eyeball in highly competitive Attention Economy?

There are rich playwrights
There are wealthy novelists
There are high-profile songwriters
Why cannot poet be a dedicated career nowadays?

Philosophy, culture, art, science and religion, soil of poetry
Drama, painting, music and fiction, nutrition of poetry
In the history of human civilization with so many national languages
How did poetry evolve to be the most profound aesthetic art independently?

Going Home II/West Side Story V (August 30, 2008) - 45

Two years
Two dozen of months
So many days and nights
The time is approaching for going home again

Run out of shoes
Run out of cloths
Run out of ideas
Run out of inspirations

I wanna have a haircut in the barb shop at Fremont
I wanna have a dinner at Cliff House in San Francisco
I wanna have a all night movie at AMC of Santa Clara
I wanna have some books in DigitalGuru at Sunnyvale

You have Intuit in intuition
You offer Oracle to succeed
You possess Applied Materials for innovation
You turn sand into silicon at Sand Hill Road

No town in hometown
No land is homeland

Moment I (August 29, 2008) - 44

In dark night
Under dark sky
At dark balcony
In dark mind

A glass of wine
A cup of water
A deep breathe
A short break

Same radio
Same channel
Same DJ
Same song

No one ahead
No one behind

East Side Story IV - Olympics Night II (August 25, 2008) - 43

Same Five Square
A mini bird nestle
Same parking lot
A natural in-car theater

Naked air
Naked screen
Naked car
Naked eyes

So large audience
So many athletes
So big smiles
So many medals

Do you see the Memory Tower of Beijing?
Do you see the Red Bus of London?
Do you feel the rhythm of peace?
Do you feel the pulse of prosper?

One World
One Dream
One universe
One bless

Win or lose, who cares?
It is just a game

Life II - Mentality (August 18, 2008) - 42

When you are hungry
But decline to eat
When you are thirsty
But refuse to drink

Birth after death
Found after lost
Happiness after sadness
Tranquil after turbulent

When you have solutions
But cannot find problems
When you have destinations
But cannot identify sources

Say what you need to say
Go where you need to go
See what you need to see
Do what you need to do

Offer what you need to offer
Accept what you need to accept
Remember what you need to remember
Forget what you need to forget

No life can be eternal
Only spirit is immortal

Car (August 14, 2008) - 41

Horse of knight
Weapon of warrior
Oars of boat
Wings of bird

Every country I go
Every city I visit
Every town I stop
You are always with me

Four seasons
Three hundred sixty five days
Ups and downs
You are always with me

Every endless highway
Every one-way street
Every lonely journey
You are always with me

Passing the glorious past
Hitting the bright future
Grasping the fascinating present
You are always with me

How can I survive without you?
Only you, only you

East Side Story III - Olympics Night I (August 9, 2008) - 40

Late summer early fall night
Facing huge screen at Five-Square Shanghai
Opening all windows at a ground parking lot
In-car radio staying in sync with the moment high

I saw Germany, I saw China
I saw Yao Min bearing the flag marching
I saw USA, I saw Canada
I saw the torch tower finally burning

Two hundred and five nations
One World
Four billion viewers
One Dream

Live like you were dying
It is a grand opening

Qi Xi - The 7th Day of the 7th Lunar Calendar (August 6, 2008) - 39

Summary of summer
Falling of fall
Seasoning of season
Nature of nature

How cool is cool?
How hot is hot?
In summer you expect fall
In fall you miss summer

Lost and Found
Beauty and beast
Evil and good
Cheating and honest

Just one more day, one more time
The end of summer, the beginning of the fall

East Side Story II - The Human Comedy (August 4, 2008) - 38

Daybreak into darkness
Oasis in the desert
Wrath of silence
Out of nowhere is your trust

When a tiger raised in the jungle
Sneaked into a village, intimidated by a dog, wandering
When a frog, born underneath the pebble
Jumped into a well, looking at the sky, pondering

Black can be turned into white
Right can be changed to wrong
Dignity, integrity, fairness, honesty, and transparency
With wind they are all gone

Let those comedians dominate the stages
At the end of the thunderstorm, the Sun still rises

Homeland III/West Side Story IV - Highway California (July 26, 2008) - 37

A typical California Summer not that hot
Thanks to the Mediterranean climate so mild
Getting a call from a Mayflower Moving agent
The Ford Tempo shipped from Mid-West finally arrived

Foggy Golden State Bridge morning Treasure Island
Picking up breakfast from a local McDonald's
Passing the Sand Hill Road behind Stanford
Departing from the bay area at the Silicon Valley Boulevard

Leaving the farm fields of central coast behind
Filling gas near the Idealab at Pasadena
Watching the sunset in the downtown Hollywood
Four hundred miles of highway in a day sooner

Your can go Southwest from SFO to LAX in an hour
But that is your California, not my California

Homeland II - Gap (July 20, 2008) - 36

In the tropical rainforests
Across the Amazon River
Far from the crowded streets
It is a hot summer

When a tiger raised in the jungle
Sneaked into a village, intimidated by a dog, wandering
When a frog, born underneath the pebble
Jumped into a well, looking at the sky, pondering

How can a parrot more insightful than an eagle?
How can a giraffe more speedy than a jaguar?
How can a crocodile more patient than a turtle?
How can a monkey more powerful than a gorilla?

To be or not to be
Let it be, let it be

Homeland I - Red Cliff (July 17, 2008) - 35

One thousand eight hundred years ago
One dynasty
Three kingdoms
One million warriors battling at Yangtze River

Warships were cruising
Drums were striking
Horses were neighing
Arrows were firing

Weakness is strength
Defense is offense
Attacking with fire
The art of the war

Do not let the history repeat itself
No more war, only peace


Crossroad (July 15, 2008) - 34

In front of the red light
At the cross road
Make a U-turn or go straight
In the life of journey, you ponder

Rainfalls and sunshines
Thunderstorms and rainbows
So many traffic lights
So many crossroads

When you have to move
Just move forward
When you have to leave
Just leave behind

At the end of the road
The highway is ahead

Sacrifice (July 10, 2008) - 33

When you watch the sunrise
Think about the sunset
When you enjoy the victory
Remember the fiasco

To win, you have to lose
To compete, you have to be competitive
To succeed, you have to fail
To attract, you have to be attractive

When you are climbing
Do not look downward
When you are diving
Do not look upward

Every departure is a new arrival
Every payout is a new return

Destiny I (July 8, 2008) - 32

People were born unequal
Some were born humble
Some were born noble
No matter late life became wonderful or horrible

Not every song can be in the billboards
Not every pilot can be the astronaut
Not every novel can go for the Nobel Prize
Not every kid can be the President

A game without a ruler
There is no winner and loser
A drama without a director
Everyone can be the superstar

Simple life is beautiful
Beautiful life is unpredictable

Freedom I (July 3, 2008) - 31

Piloting a plane at
The blue sky without clouds
Driving a car at
An endless highway without speed limits

Freedom to move
Freedom to travel
Freedom to love
Freedom to prevail

It looks like commodity
When you own it
It becomes luxury
When you lose it

Cherishable life, precious love
Without freedom, why do you live?

Life I - Process (July 1, 2008) - 30

Birth, death, aging and sickness
Love, hate, joy and sadness
Separation, reunion, marriage and divorce
All are just part of the process

Someone��s life is colorful
Someone��s life is mediocre
Someone��s life is painful
Someone��s life is terrific

Brittle like a crystal ball
Strong like a diamond head
Short like a lighted candle
Unpredictable like a woman's mind

Someone��s life changed the history
Someone��s life was changed by the history

Highway I (Jun 27, 2008) - 29

Pouring from dark sky heavy rain
Hitting front screen, knocking back door
Turning cruise off, putting emergency lights on
Wondering if sailing at seashore

One source, one destination
So many entrances, so many exits
No car pool lane, no gas station
No stop signs, no red lights

How many tickets have you ever got?
How many milestones have you ever reached?
How many landmarks have you ever hit?
How many channels have your ever switched?

No worry, the rain will be gone
And life shall go on

Frontier (June 24, 2008) - 28

Thirsty without water
Hungry without food
Cold without fire
Searching without a clue
Roaming without a destination
Exploring without a roadmap
Architecting without a blueprint

You don��t need to be perplexed
If not being understood
You don��t need to be the first
If not the last
You don��t need to succeed
Only if you have tried
In highland, it is chilly

Dreams (June 19, 2008) -27

I had dreams fascinating
To be a pilot
In the blue sky flying
To be a sailor
In the turbulent sea sailing

I have dreams fascinating
Be a full-time poet
In a remote island writing
Be an early immigrant
On the bright moon living

West side story III (June 19, 2008) - 26

Packing up my American dream
Ontario, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois
Outside the fast moving Grey Hound
Endless corn fields swallowing my eyes
Across Iowa River sites the university town

The following day after getting my driver license
Stopped by a cop asking if need help
Cannot start the engine without warming up
So cold the Mid-West winter
So warm the rural heart

Campus IV (June 17, 2008) - 25

In front of the river
Willows in the wind
Mild rain washing the summer
Fresh air blowing my mind
Life is too good

At the back seat
Music in my heart
Some beer in the cup
A piece of paper
What a poet


Consciousness (June 17, 2008) - 24

Second, minute and hour
Day by day
Week, month and quarter
Year after year
Past, present and future
No time is the best time

Home, car and office
In and out
City, continent, globe and universe
Here and there
Wherever you are
No space is the best space

Parents, kids, friends and foes
Love, hate, joy and sadness
Beauty, scene, wine and gourmet
Cold, hot, sour, salty and sweet
Inspiration, passion, insight and foresight
No life is the best life

Poetry I (June 11, 2008) - 23

Perl of language
Elite of literature
A drama not on a stage
A paint not on a canvas
A song without music
Only masterpieces last forever

Joy, pain, love and hate
Time, space, matter and life
Sparks of inspiration
Secretion of passion
Fruits of creation
What in common is innovation

Going Home I/East Side Story I - Hangzhou Bay Bridge (June 9, 2008) - 22

Long weekend holiday rainy season
Trying a brand new route to hometown
Grand bridge over sea l<x>inking highway road
Cutting a path to the dream of Peach Flower Island

A bridge is not a road
You cannot stop or move backward
Colorful life like a fascinating snapshot
One way journey is not for the faint of heart

Campus III (June 6, 2008) - 21

Eight o'clock at night west suburb
Same time same place same parking curb
Same wine same music same shining star
Life like a drama

Always on the road
Always in the mood
Always at searching
Living is writing

West Side Story II (May 31, 2008) - 20

From the plane window in blue sky
On top of the vast land of maple
Fast moving cars on endless highway
Starting the new journey with a heart humble
No land is my homeland

Short hot summer, long cold winter
It is the small town across Detroit River
Watching sunset at the Sunset Avenue
Dreaming California from California street
No town is my hometown

Campus II (May 26, 2008) - 19

Weekend early summer night
Full moon dark sky lonely highway
Roof window cool wind soothing my heart
Suburb university town on the way

Do not be scared if no one is leading you
Do not be upset if no one is following you
Unnamed Lake and Lotus Pond refreshing my memory
Tomorrow will be a brand new day

Election I (May 23, 2008) - 18

One black, two whites
Two men, one woman
One veteran, two lawyers
Three senators without a governor

Patriotism, Peace, and Prosperity
The poor, the rich, and the mid-class
The left, the right, and the independent
The essence of politics, the art of balance

A chicken in every pot
A car in every garage
Two Parents in every house
History is the best judge

Earthquake II (May 17, 2008) - 17

A Day Without Rain
A Little Moonlight
Down from the Mountain
Lost in the Lonesome Pines, fragile heart

Soldier of the Cross
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road
Brothers in arms
Candle in the Wind

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Miss you in a heartbeat
There Will Be a Light
Rise and Shine, Ray of Light

Earthquake I (May 14, 2008) - 16

When the day Turned to Blue under the same gray sky,
After Knocking on Heaven��s Door
Messy Room with Radio Nowhere
Lost Highway In A Silent Way
Bridge Over Troubled Water with Devils & Dust
City of Blinding Lights in The Hidden Land
Before The Next Teardrop Falls
Dream Deferred in The Broken Heart

Somewhere Only We Know The Thrill Is Gone
Is it A Tale Of God��s Will or not
Not Ready to Make Nice Before The Daylight��s Shot
If those I loved were lost
Be A Prayer for Peace, Bless the Broken Road
Who Says You Can��t Go Home
There Will Be a Light from the Glory Train
Do not make me wait, We Belong Together

West Side Story I (May 10, 2008) - 15

Do You Know the Way to San Jose?
I wanna some Classical Gas in the Story Road
Watch Beautiful Isle of Somewhere in The Days of Wine and Roses
On The Dock of the Bay with Strangers in the Night
Pick Little Green Apples with A Taste of Honey
At Dead End Street in the Sunnyvale Orchard
Catch a Falling Star On Mission Peak like a Midnight Flyer

In The Shadow of Your Smile
I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Let the Good Times Roll like That Old Black Magic
Cast Your Fate to the Winds If I Had a Hammer
What a Difference a Day Makes in the Far East Suite
Farewell to Deep Purple in A Hard Day��s Night
We��ll Sing in the Sunshine like King of the Road

Campus I (May 7, 2008) - 14

In early summer at late night campus
On The Road Not Taken
Where the Sidewalk Ends
And The Moon And The Stars And The World
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
Touched by An Angel Walking Around
Fast rode the knight with A Red, Red Rose

Be Glad Your Nose is on Your Face
I know why the caged bird sings
There is another sky in heaven
All the World's a Stage
A Dream Within A Dream
Still I Rise, Life Is Fine
I will carry your heart with no loss

Blueprint I (April 30, 2008) - 13

Let the River Run
Let the tide strike
Let the mountain rock
Let the fog fade
Let the sun shine
Let the flower boom
Let the eagle fly

I am in the Mood
On the Valley Road
In One Bright Day
Every Little Step
In Amazing Grace
March into your soul
No one is alone

Roadmap XII (April 26, 2008) - 12

On Another Day in Paradise From a Distance Round Midnight
Stones Standing Still in the Road Out of the Loop
Prayer for the Wild Things singing Songs of the Church
Beauty and the Beast Striking the Planet Drum in Soul Cages
Constant Craving Tears in Heaven Through God's Eyes Beyond Belief

Let Me Ride the Runaway Train End of the Road at the Turing Point
To start the Live Adventure for Great Escapes Miles Ahead
Why not Perfectly Frank to have Different Lifestyles?
Follow your gut in Circle of Life, Here and Now
In A Whole New World Heaven and Earth, So Near, So Far

Roadmap XI (April 19, 2008) - 11

In such a Beautiful Day at Lonely Town
Whiskey in the Jar for The Rite of Spring
The Echoing Air in Colors of the Wind
High Lonesome Sound from the Blue Moon Swamp
The Same Old Train in the Wide Open Spaces
Car Wheels on a Gravel Road with One Headlight on
Time Out of Mind in Long Journey Home

Forget about The Roots of Coincidence
No more Hall of Fame in The Memory of Trees
Happiness Is Slavery in Poverty's Paradise
Let's Build a Mystery Somewhere
In the Vicinity of the Heart with Soul of the Tango
Put Your Lights On, I'll Lead You Home
Tomorrow will be a Brand New Day

Roadmap X - (April 12, 2008) - 10

It's Five O'Clock Somewhere Long Time Gone
A Little Moonlight with Dreams & Fables
Foggy Mountain Breakdown Underneath It All
A Song Flung Up to Heaven Rise and Shine
The Closer I Get To You -
Next Big Thing Beneath the Raven Moon
The More I Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of
In My Place It is a A Wonderful World All My Life

Roadmap IX (April 3, 2008) - 9

Here We Go Again in the Land of the Sun
Across Newton Street Passing Yangpu Bridge
Get on A8 from Out Ring with All Things New
Let's Get It Started like Beautiful Dreamer
With Brand New Strings from Concert in the Garden
No more Code of Silence and Blues to the Bone
There Will Be a Light Over the Rainbow
Keep It Simple - It's My Life

Roadmap VIII - (March 29, 2008) - 8

Inside the Heart of the Moon
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
In the City of Blinding Lights
Listen to Songs From the Neighborhood
Push the Button with No Direction Home
Leave Devils & Dust behind
Lonely Runs Both Ways like a Gold Digger
Beyond the Sound Barrier

You know A House Is Not a Home
Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own
It is The Art of Romance
No idea What Are You Doing for the Rest of Your Life
Give me The Forgotten Arm
Judge From the Bottom of My Heart
You'll Think of Me
Until My Heart Caves In

Roadmap VII (March 23, 2008) - 7

On the Lost Highway East To West
Under Paris Sunrise with Spring Awakening
Watch Faces Of The Sun Over The Rainbow
Light Your Light On The Threshold Of Hope
Start Long Trip Alone with Spirit Of The Season
Imagine Destination Moon on Window In The Skies
Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace
Heaven, Heartache And The Power Of Love
It must be The Sweet Escape full of Journey Of Joy

Do not Call Me Irresponsible, You Know My Name
No more Friend and Foe, or Aesthetics Of Hate
I have nothing left, only Sweet Sacrifice
Show Me What You Got, The Ecstasy Of Gold
What Goes Around Comes Around, It Just Comes Natural
When The Soul Is Settled
It Won't Be Soon Before Long
Love Is The Song We Sing, A Tale Of God's Will
That's The Way Of The World, the Elements Of Life

Roadmap VI (March 15, 2008) - 6

In the Heat of the Night
Out of Africa During The Lost Weekend
Once a Midnight Cowboy Going My Way
Now The Deer Hunter Around the World
Watch The Silence of the Lambs
All Quiet On the Western Front
Dances With Wolves under The Broadway Melody
It is The Greatest Show On Earth

Forget about Terms of Endearment
You Can't Take It With You
Remember we are just Ordinary People
No one knows How Green Was My Valley
A Beautiful Mind with Brave Heart
Enjoy The Best Years of Our Lives
Like Around the World In 80 Days
Be A Man For All Seasons From Here To Eternity

Roadmap V (March 11, 2008) - 5

Stand on The Pillars Of The Earth
Hide in The Secret Garden of Treasure Island
Like The Catcher in the Rye with One Hundred Years Of Solitude
No more Pride and Prejudice, War and Peace
Embrace The Wind in the Willows with Great Expectations
Enjoy The Color Of Magic in the Brave New World

Roadmap IV (March 9, 2008) - 4

Once Upon a Time in the West
In A Lonely Planet, At a Hard Day's Night
Under City Lights, On the Waterfront
Driving A Street Car Named Desire
With Smiles of a Summer Night
Passing The Shop Around the Corner
Chasing the Closely Watched Trains
Out of the Past, Day for Night

Tell me The Awful Truth
Forget The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
Be Children of Paradise
With Kind Hearts and Coronets
Show me The Lord of the Rings
Spread Yours Wings of Desire
Fly like a bird, Gone with the Wind
It's A Wonderful Life

Roadmap III (February 19, 2008) - 3

In Hard Times, Trust me or not
Winners Take Nothing, and there are no
Desperate Remedies, whether
To Have and Have Not, in
The Battle of Life, we all should have
Great Expectations for
Love of Life

So let us stand Far From the Madding Crowd
Get Across the River and Into the Trees
Touch The Torrents of Spring
Watch The Sun Also Rises
Have A Movable Feast, make
The Call of the Wild, and
Enjoy Return of the Nature

Roadmap II (February 13, 2008) - 2

Wish you were here
In the Air tonight
I want to hold your Hand
Like Master & Servant
Light my Fire
Here I go again
Road to Nowhere

Roadmap I (February 13, 2008) - 1

I was Born to Be Wild
I am Bad to the Bone
I hate to go Icehouse and Street Cafe
I wanna know the Shape of your Heart
I wanna climb to the peak of your soul
I wanna be the Owner of a lonely Heart
I wanna you to Turn me Loose
Fade to Grey

So leave me your roadmap to Fields of Gold
For me to Light my Fire to be On the Road again
Run to the Hill, Road to Nowhere
Be a Highway Star
In Space Oddity, Far Far Away
Rock on the Moon, One Step Beyond
Through Stairway to Heaven
Make you be the Desert Rose[url][/url]



前沿诗歌

春天 (3/21/09) - 21

绵绵细丝
从天而坠
正午城市
醉眼朦胧
穿过越江隧道
又是豁然开朗

葱融绿色
不再奢侈
冬衣早已
刀枪入库
太阳笑了
好的不仅仅
是心情

身在江南
心早已
不在江南

读二十四史有感之二 - 不能废除高考 (3/12/09) -20

不能废除高考
中国不是美国
所谓自主招生
结果权利寻租

如果废除高考
鲤鱼不跳龙门
麻雀不变凤凰

如果废除高考
不必悬梁刺股
没有金榜题名

因为有了高考
弱势才有话语
草根才变菁英

因为有了高考
社会更加公平
机会才能均等

因为有了高考
籍贯不再重要
出身不再重要

因为有了高考
个人才能发展
国家才有希望

上下五千年
科举千百年
祖制不能废

人生 IX - 生活是一种体验(3/11/09) - 19

生活就是写作
人生就是诗歌

精神就是物质
物质就是精神

意象就是理念
理念就是意象

简单就是复杂
复杂就是简单

高雅就是低俗
低俗就是高雅

富贵就是贫贱
贫贱就是富贵

高大就是渺小
渺小就是高大

无私就是自私
自私就是无私

无畏就是胆怯
胆怯就是无畏

你从哪里来
就到哪里去

你要去哪里
你就去哪里

卸掉面具
脱去伪装

放下包袱
解放思想

生命不息
冲锋不止

没有过去
没有将来
只有现在

人生 VIII - 简单就是复杂(3/10/09) - 18

食不果腹
衣不遮体
身居陋室
足不出户

宁静致远
淡泊铭志
清心寡欲
知足常乐

浪迹江湖
纵横四海
身在地球
心寄宇宙

读二十四史有感之零 - 了解从拥有开始 (3/10/09 - 17

下午快递公司来电话
说有一大件将送达
猜是卓越订的<<二十四史>>
过了一会又来一电话
快递员说一个人太重
整整四大箱六十四本
全部简体横排文言文

上自黄帝公元前2550年
下止明朝崇祯1644年
共计3213卷4000万字
全部本紀列傳纪传体
乾隆皇帝钦定二十四史
当年年幼无知忙它事
如今亡羊补牢时不晚

最后一面 (3/8/09) - 16

春夜街角你打开车门
我脱口而出小心
你说我怕车被碰了
我说我怕行人
我车已遍体鳞伤
就跟我人一样

诗坛纵贯线之想象(3/6/09) - 15

当今诗坛
恰如乐坛
风起云涌
新人辈出
诗坛大哥
前有埋伏
后有追兵
坐如针毡

罗大佑李宗盛
加上滚石老板
饭局一锤定音
先约见周华建
再电话张震越
前有三位老将
后加一个新兵
老酒换装新瓶

一群亡命之徒
力挽逝去光阴
不是后无来者
也是前无古人
看新四大天王
周杰伦陈亦讯
王力宏林俊杰
不配做个鼓手

不要叹息
不要妒忌
求同存异
与时俱进
四月下旬
杭州黄龙见

人生 VII - 复杂就是简单(3/6/09) - 14

风声
雨声
读书声
充耳不闻

家事
国事
天下事
事不关己

美食
美声
美景色
一网打尽

天堂
地狱
人世间
游刃有余

读二十四史有感之一 - 历史是一部传奇 (3/6/09) - 13

上下五千年
前后数百代
几十个朝代
数 百个皇帝
神州大地
演绎历史传奇

儿时被<<三国演义>>蒙蔽
现时被<<明朝历史那些事儿>>忽悠
什么<<杨贵妃>><<武则天>>
还有那上下<<赤壁>>
要博古通今
还需看<<二十四史>>

文言不难白话更易
<<史记>>有横无纵
<<资治通鉴>>有纵无横
百年不遇当今盛世
何时重修<<清史>>
何时开修<<中国通史>>

- <<资治通鉴>>是断代通史, 不在<<二十四史>>内
- <<清史>> 不是正式清史, 不在<<二十四史>>内

人生 VI - 运动 (3/6/09) - 12

有人喜欢乒乓球
小学生运动
有人喜欢羽毛球
中学生运动
有人喜欢网球
大学生运动
有人喜欢高尔夫
研究生运动
有人喜欢网游
虚拟运动

有人喜欢上山
有人喜欢下海
有人喜欢飞天
我的规则简单
危险的运动
没有挑战性的运动
费时的运动
都不动

人生 V - 积极生活态度(3/2/09) - 11

文学没有使命
就像生活没有理由
出生是被迫
死亡也一样

有人的一生太过精采
有人的一生太过平庸
有人的一生太过顺利
有人的一生太过坎坷

有旭日东升
就有日薄西山
有朝阳似火
就有白雪飘飘

相信自己
相信人性
相信未来
这就是积极生活态度

人生 IV - 诗人与诗歌(3/2/09) - 10

当第一匹野马被无名骑士驯服
是先有骏马还是先有骑士
骏马和骑士眼中只有彼此

当第一艘帆船被无名水手试航
是先有帆船还是先有水手
帆船和水手眼中只有彼此

当第一辆汽车被亨利福特试驾
是先有汽车还是先有车手
汽车和车手眼中只有彼此

当第一架飞机被赖特兄弟试飞
是先有飞机还是先有飞行员
飞机和飞行员眼中只有彼此

是骑士就只要管好你的骏马
是水手就只要管好你的帆船
是车手就只要管好你的爱车
是飞行员就只要管好你的飞机
驰骋大地浪迹海洋翱翔蓝天
何必费神于走兽游鱼飞鸟

是金子总会闪光
是旭日总会东升
是火山总会喷发
是千里马就做
你自己的伯乐

我的写作观 - 写作不需要学习(2/26/09) - 9

打中文太慢
所以我说个大概
作家诗人创作
要分是写给大众
还是写给自己或小众

你能指望一个中学生
写出<<名利场>>
你能指望一个牙医
写出<<基度山伯爵>>
你的经历决定了你的视野

有人写作为了致富
有人写作为了出名
有人写作为了抒怀
生活就是写作
人生就是戏剧

何谓成功
何谓诗人
何谓作家
何谓成功的诗人
何谓成功的作家

放下包袱
开动机器
解放思想
大步向前
一天等于一年

世俗意义上成功的作家
都拥有庞大的读者群
占领广阔的市场
后者是草根而不是精英
只能放弃阳春白雪
专注于下里巴人

诗人与作家相比
最大的好处是
第一你不用迎合读者
因为市场几乎没有
第二写作费时不多
因为诗歌是意而非写实

时间不是金钱
时间是生命
生命是短暂的
年青时当个诗人
晚年时再当作家
写好自传此生足矣

告山西特产爱好者书 (2/17/09) - 8

所谓教授就是叫兽
所谓专家就是砖假
没有规则就是规则
没有理论就是理论
没有计划就是计划
没有目标就是目标

所谓肤浅就是深奥
所谓苍白就是丰满
所谓短暂就是长久
所谓瞬间就是永恒
所谓渺小就是伟大
所谓失败就是成功

理想可以远大
脚步务必踏实
一天等于一年
好好努力前途无量

上海之夜(2/15/09) - 7

天太昏
地太暗

风太暴
雨太骤

人太稀
车太密

灯太红
酒太绿

任太重
道太远

挂云帆
济沧海

人生 III - 诗人的一天 (1/28/09) - 6

个性每人都有
写字每人都会
灵感需要激情
想象需要空间
经历需要时间

起床需要时间
吃饭需要时间
开车需要时间
工作需要时间
睡觉需要时间

阅读需要时间
思考需要时间
灵感需要时间
打字需要时间
互动需要时间

时间不是金钱
时间是生命
生命是短暂的
诗人的一天
等于你的一年

非诚勿扰2009 (12/23/2008) - 5

二十一世纪最贵的是什么
是人才? 不是
二十一世纪最贵的是什么
是和谐? 不是
二十一世纪最贵的是什么
是机会? 不是
二十一世纪最贵的是什么
是环境? 不是

无论甲方乙方
无论是否大腕
不要没完没了
不要一声叹息
不要不见不散
相信天下无贼

二十一世纪最贵的是什么
是思想

伪命题 - 诗歌今后的走向(12/17/0Cool - 4

诗歌今后的走向
这是一个伪命题
就像讨论哪里是长江的源头
或是哪里是黄河的入海口
就像讨论何时下冬天的第一场雪
或是何时降春天的第一场雨

诗歌今后的走向
这是一个伪命题
就像讨论何时降生
或是何时辞世
就像讨论何时邂逅
或是何时别离

诗歌今后的走向
这是一个伪命题
就像讨论哪里是灵感的源头
或是哪里是灵感的出口
就像讨论哪里才出天才
或是何时才出天才

诗歌今后的走向
这是一个伪命题
就像讨论如何定义幸福
或是讨论如何界定自由
就像讨论量化情感
或是讨论何时定居月球

诗人写诗, 至少我自己
是为了娱人在后, 娱己在先
没有方向是最好的方向
忘却时间忘却空间
忘却天堂忘却人间
跟着感觉大步向前

如果不在这里,在哪里?
如果不是现在,更待何时?
如果不是这样,怎样?
如果不是我,会是谁?

人生 II (10/22/2008) - 3

出生是被动的
死亡是主动的
衰老是被动的
年轻是主动的

反应是被动的
感知是主动的
悲伤是被动的
快乐是主动的

压力是被动的
动力是主动的
失败是被动的
成功是主动的

失望是被动的
希望是主动的
主动是被动的
被动是主动的

人生 I (10/17/2008) - 2

行万里路
藏千卷书
品百种酒
钟十年情
为一只狗

耕一亩地
筑十只巢
引百尾凤
养千里马
做万户侯

当年明月离百家讲坛有多远? (10/16/2008) - 1

时间不是金钱
时间是生命
生命是短暂的
诗人的一天就是你的一年

挣扎半夜
还是决定用诗的语言
开启心灵的天窗
展示最真的车身

诗歌之于诗人如同
美酒之于酒鬼
佳肴之于食客
美景之于画家

难道只有加入作协才是作家
难道只有参加科举才能成就功名
难道只有拥有户口才是城市居民
难道只有教授才能进行教授

如果这是在明朝
当年明月也许就是李时珍
而绝不会是改革先锋张居正
更不会是一代文豪苏东坡

如果这是在明朝
《明朝那些事儿》就是《本草纲目》
化腐朽为神奇
化干戈为玉帛

历史是一座宏大的图书馆
每本书都是一个国家
每一章都是一个王朝
每一章都有其自己的荣耀

有些书已失传
有些书仍在扩展
有些章节很迷人
有些章节很无聊

你可以选择自己的书籍
但是你不能选择自己的章节
这世上有太多读者
但又有多少是作家

历史是一面明亮的镜子
它富于戏剧色彩
它富于诗情话意
它富于不可预测性

在镜子里你看见了
主人和仆人吗
地主和佃农吗
将军和士兵吗

在镜子里你看见了
征服和瓜分吗
波澜壮阔和起起伏伏吗
分离和重逢吗

二十年没看小说
十年没看电视
一部《明朝那些事儿》
让人想看《百家讲坛》

谁说草根不能PK精英
谁说现代不能PK古典
王候将相
宁有种乎

理想必将战胜现实
情感必将战胜理智
傲慢必将战胜偏见
和平必将战胜战争
你我都将消逝
历史仍将延续

- 读了一部分<<二十四史>>中的<<明史>>才发现当年明月能做的, 我也能做, 只是术业有专攻, 人各有志罢了.
