Response to: Travel to the place...

Dear poet, I love your beautiful poem
So wonderful thoughts of wisdom
Please travel to Vietnam
If I am lucky to be your tour guide
I will bring you a lot of susprise
I can sing my Vietnamese
Like a song
I can tell you stories
Of the country, the people, the culture and the history
In a special way
A special performance of poetry
Please come, and send your friends and your family
To the land of love and peace

Travel to the place
By Divyesh J. Shah

Travel to the place
Where mind set to peace,
No one can see,
Feel us free.

Travel to the place
Where we can breathe,
Fill our desire,
We wish; we aspire.

Travel to the place
Where we have silence,
Flower of fragrance,
And nature to admire.

Travel to the place
Where we can write,
Lines of rhyme,
At any time.

Travel to the place
Where we have enough space,
Work without race,
No tension on face.

Travel to the place
Where we can dance,
Sing at glance,
Bit of time to
romance.
Travel to the place
Where we spread love,
Freedom to serve
And land to move.

Travel to the place
Where we can live,
Of joy and sprinkle its grace,
And do anything, anywhere.

RING THE BELL

Yue Yue passed way
No more pain

Wishing you peace in the Fairy Land
Wishing you the most beautiful wings
So you can fly, and please bring the bell
My little angel, fly and ring the bell
To wake up the sleeping conscience
So all human eyes are more opened
All the hearts can beat for love
So no other people will be like you
Being run over
One, and again, and more!
Nobody walk away, not to see, or pretend so
All will be Chen, giving you a hand
Even though  there is not much hope

Yue Yue, fly  and ring the bell
To wake up all human souls and love

YUE YUE HÃY SỐNG

http://vn.news.yahoo.com/b%C3%A9-g%C3%A1i-2-tu%E1%BB%95i-b%E1%BB%8B-xe-%C4%91%E1%BB%A5ng-h%E1%BB%93i-065700273.html?bcmt=1318944741557-2db8953c-4186-44e2-98ba-bb4d4c6c5e58#ugccmt-container-b

Yue Yue ơi, cảm ơn Trời Phật
Đã cho em sức lực diệu kỳ
Em vẫn sống sau ba lần xe cán
Sau mười tám lần người quay mặt ngoãnh đi!
Ai chế giễu Bà Chen nhân ái
Nâng Yue Yue trong lúc ngặt nghèo?
Cô con dâu thở dài thất vọng
Làm người tốt khó đến thế sao!!!
Yue Yue ơi, cố lên, hãy sống
Lớn lên nhanh, nhắc nhở loài người
Xin hãy có trái tim nhân hậu
Một đôi tay cứu được một đời
Cảm ơn Bà Chen, việc làm dù nhỏ
Nghĩa rất cao, đồng loại thương nhau
Hỡi những ai quay lưng với Bé
Hỏi lại lòng mình, tự vấn lương tâm!

MOM’S SPECIAL BIRTHDAY IN THE NAM HAI RESORT


I came to The Nam Hai Resort early for the a tour to Hue. This is my habit as a tour guide for more than 19 years. I was so impressed a buggy caring to see a big, beautiful bunch of fresh flowers by me.

_ "This is for Helen's birthday. Helen and her son Lee are going to Hue with you today." The tour operator winked at me. I understood: Tour guide, please do your best to make them happy. I winked back at him, which means: Yes, sir. Sure!

I am so thankful to the tour operator as he gives me very important information to start a happy tour.

Helen and Lee came. They both looked so brighten with joys in their eyes.

I welcomed Helen and Lee by the Happy Birthday song to Helen. Many happy returns of the day!

Helen and Lee were so excited by The Nam Hai Resort that it becomes the subject to start the tour.

“I have traveled quite a lot. But The Nam Hai Resort is so beautiful, than I any other places.” Helen eagerly said. “The room, the gardens, the beach…everything is so wonderful. And the staff is so friendly”. She added.

I smiled: What I like best about The Nam Hai Resort is water. Water everywhere, the sea, the ponds, the gardens etc. Very clear and clean water! Water is the most important elements of the five, including itself, fire, metal, wood and earth. It brings in the good luck for the home and people.

During the tour I found out one thing: Helen, Lee and I have something in common: We love poetry. We made the tour to Hue the most special poem with history, culture, interesting sights, with our minds and hearts.

Our talks were usually interrupted by telephones. Lee and I were cheered to hear Helen laugh happily on the phone.

- “ They are my mom’s best friends. You see, my mom is talking over and over about The Nam Hai Resort and about the tour.” said Lee.

Lee has worked in Vietnamfor 6 months and haven’t much time with his mom. “ I want to make Mom’s birthday the most special in The Nam Hai Resort.” He said. “I am so happy that she is happy!”Lee smiled. His eyes were brightened with joys.

I wish I could offer my mother a special birthday like Lee to his mother. I could never do so as my mother passed away nearly three years ago!

If you still have the chance, do it. Enjoy every moment you can with your mom!

Hi Lan,

I wanted to add that as you can see we have added those poem's on the English language for you.
The one you were able to read yesterday and the one mentioned yesterday by Trenite (a Dutch man) which was first written in 1922.

Hope you enjoy

Dear Lan

Thank you so very much for escorting Lee and myself as our tour guide yesterday to the King's tomb, the Citadel and the Pagoda. I have travelled to many places, but I enjoyed your tour more than any other.

You brought the heart and soul of Vietnam alive with your wonderful knowledge of history, your poems and your beautiful singing. Lee and I now feel we know Vietnam so much better.

Again, thank you so much and I will be telling all my family and friends to contact you when they travel to Vietnam

All our love

Helen and Lee



We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes.
Then one fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese,
You may find a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice,
But the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?
The cow in the plural may be cows or kine,
But a bow if repeated is never called bine,
And the plural of vow is vows, never vine.
If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet,
And I give you a boot would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth, and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
If the singular’s this and the plural is these,
Should the plural of kiss ever be nicknamed keese?
Then one may be that and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother, and also of brethren,
But though we say mother, we never say methren,
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine she, shis and shim,
So the English, I think, you all will agree,
Is the queerest language you ever did see.


Gerard Nolst Trenité - The Chaos (1922)
Dearest creature in creation
Studying English pronunciation,
I will teach you in my verse
Sounds like corpse, corps, horse and worse.
I will keep you, Susy, busy,
Make your head with heat grow dizzy;
Tear in eye, your dress you'll tear;
Queer, fair seer, hear my prayer.
Pray, console your loving poet,
Make my coat look new, dear, sew it!
Just compare heart, hear and heard,
Dies and diet, lord and word.
Sword and sward, retain and Britain
(Mind the latter how it's written).
Made has not the sound of bade,
Say-said, pay-paid, laid but plaid.
Now I surely will not plague you
With such words as vague and ague,
But be careful how you speak,
Say: gush, bush, steak, streak, break, bleak ,
Previous, precious, fuchsia, via
Recipe, pipe, studding-sail, choir;
Woven, oven, how and low,
Script, receipt, shoe, poem, toe.
Say, expecting fraud and trickery:
Daughter, laughter and Terpsichore,
Branch, ranch, measles, topsails, aisles,
Missiles, similes, reviles.
Wholly, holly, signal, signing,
Same, examining, but mining,
Scholar, vicar, and cigar,
Solar, mica, war and far.
From "desire": desirable-admirable from "admire",
Lumber, plumber, bier, but brier,
Topsham, brougham, renown, but known,
Knowledge, done, lone, gone, none, tone,
One, anemone, Balmoral,
Kitchen, lichen, laundry, laurel.
Gertrude, German, wind and wind,
Beau, kind, kindred, queue, mankind,
Tortoise, turquoise, chamois-leather,
Reading, Reading, heathen, heather.
This phonetic labyrinth
Gives moss, gross, brook, brooch, ninth, plinth.
Have you ever yet endeavoured
To pronounce revered and severed,
Demon, lemon, ghoul, foul, soul,
Peter, petrol and patrol?
Billet does not end like ballet;
Bouquet, wallet, mallet, chalet.
Blood and flood are not like food,
Nor is mould like should and would.
Banquet is not nearly parquet,
Which exactly rhymes with khaki.
Discount, viscount, load and broad,
Toward, to forward, to reward,
Ricocheted and crocheting, croquet?
Right! Your pronunciation's OK.
Rounded, wounded, grieve and sieve,
Friend and fiend, alive and live.
Is your r correct in higher?
Keats asserts it rhymes Thalia.
Hugh, but hug, and hood, but hoot,
Buoyant, minute, but minute.
Say abscission with precision,
Now: position and transition;
Would it tally with my rhyme
If I mentioned paradigm?
Twopence, threepence, tease are easy,
But cease, crease, grease and greasy?
Cornice, nice, valise, revise,
Rabies, but lullabies.
Of such puzzling words as nauseous,
Rhyming well with cautious, tortious,
You'll envelop lists, I hope,
In a linen envelope.
Would you like some more? You'll have it!
Affidavit, David, davit.
To abjure, to perjure. Sheik
Does not sound like Czech but ache.
Liberty, library, heave and heaven,
Rachel, loch, moustache, eleven.
We say hallowed, but allowed,
People, leopard, towed but vowed.
Mark the difference, moreover,
Between mover, plover, Dover.
Leeches, breeches, wise, precise,
Chalice, but police and lice,
Camel, constable, unstable,
Principle, disciple, label.
Petal, penal, and canal,
Wait, surmise, plait, promise, pal,
Suit, suite, ruin. Circuit, conduit
Rhyme with "shirk it" and "beyond it",
But it is not hard to tell
Why it's pall, mall, but Pall Mall.
Muscle, muscular, gaol, iron,
Timber, climber, bullion, lion,
Worm and storm, chaise, chaos, chair,
Senator, spectator, mayor,
Ivy, privy, famous; clamour
Has the a of drachm and hammer.
Pussy, hussy and possess,
Desert, but desert, address.
Golf, wolf, countenance, lieutenants
Hoist in lieu of flags left pennants.
Courier, courtier, tomb, bomb, comb,
Cow, but Cowper, some and home.
"Solder, soldier! Blood is thicker",
Quoth he, "than liqueur or liquor",
Making, it is sad but true,
In bravado, much ado.
Stranger does not rhyme with anger,
Neither does devour with clangour.
Pilot, pivot, gaunt, but aunt,
Font, front, wont, want, grand and grant.
Arsenic, specific, scenic,
Relic, rhetoric, hygienic.
Gooseberry, goose, and close, but close,
Paradise, rise, rose, and dose.
Say inveigh, neigh, but inveigle,
Make the latter rhyme with eagle.
Mind! Meandering but mean,
Valentine and magazine.
And I bet you, dear, a penny,
You say mani-(fold) like many,
Which is wrong. Say rapier, pier,
Tier (one who ties), but tier.
Arch, archangel; pray, does erring
Rhyme with herring or with stirring?
Prison, bison, treasure trove,
Treason, hover, cover, cove,
Perseverance, severance. Ribald
Rhymes (but piebald doesn't) with nibbled.
Phaeton, paean, gnat, ghat, gnaw,
Lien, psychic, shone, bone, pshaw.
Don't be down, my own, but rough it,
And distinguish buffet, buffet;
Brood, stood, roof, rook, school, wool, boon,
Worcester, Boleyn, to impugn.
Say in sounds correct and sterling
Hearse, hear, hearken, year and yearling.
Evil, devil, mezzotint,
Mind the z! (A gentle hint.)
Now you need not pay attention
To such sounds as I don't mention,
Sounds like pores, pause, pours and paws,
Rhyming with the pronoun yours;
Nor are proper names included,
Though I often heard, as you did,
Funny rhymes to unicorn,
Yes, you know them, Vaughan and Strachan.
No, my maiden, coy and comely,
I don't want to speak of Cholmondeley.
No. Yet Froude compared with proud
Is no better than McLeod.
But mind trivial and vial,
Tripod, menial, denial,
Troll and trolley, realm and ream,
Schedule, mischief, schism, and scheme.
Argil, gill, Argyll, gill. Surely
May be made to rhyme with Raleigh,
But you're not supposed to say
Piquet rhymes with sobriquet.
Had this invalid invalid
Worthless documents? How pallid,
How uncouth he, couchant, looked,
When for Portsmouth I had booked!
Zeus, Thebes, Thales, Aphrodite,
Paramour, enamoured, flighty,
Episodes, antipodes,
Acquiesce, and obsequies.
Please don't monkey with the geyser,
Don't peel 'taters with my razor,
Rather say in accents pure:
Nature, stature and mature.
Pious, impious, limb, climb, glumly,
Worsted, worsted, crumbly, dumbly,
Conquer, conquest, vase, phase, fan,
Wan, sedan and artisan.
The th will surely trouble you
More than
r, ch or w.
Say then these phonetic gems:
Thomas, thyme, Theresa, Thames.
Thompson, Chatham, Waltham, Streatham,
There are more but I forget 'em-
Wait! I've got it: Anthony,
Lighten your anxiety.
The archaic word albeit
Does not rhyme with eight-you see it;
With and forthwith, one has voice,
One has not, you make your choice.
Shoes, goes, does *. Now first say: finger;
Then say: singer, ginger, linger.
Real, zeal, mauve, gauze and gauge,
Marriage, foliage, mirage, age,
Hero, heron, query, very,
Parry, tarry fury, bury,
Dost, lost, post, and doth, cloth, loth,
Job, Job, blossom, bosom, oath.
Faugh, oppugnant, keen oppugners,
Bowing, bowing, banjo-tuners
Holm you know, but noes, canoes,
Puisne, truism, use, to use?
Though the difference seems little,
We say actual, but victual,
Seat, sweat, chaste, caste, Leigh, eight, height,
Put, nut, granite, and unite.
Reefer does not rhyme with deafer,
Feoffer does, and zephyr, heifer.
Dull, bull, Geoffrey, George, ate, late,
Hint, pint, senate, but sedate.
Gaelic, Arabic, pacific,
Science, conscience, scientific;
Tour, but our, dour, succour, four,
Gas, alas, and Arkansas.
Say manoeuvre, yacht and vomit,
Next omit, which differs from it
Bona fide, alibi
Gyrate, dowry and awry.
Sea, idea, guinea, area,
Psalm, Maria, but malaria.
Youth, south, southern, cleanse and clean,
Doctrine, turpentine, marine.
Compare alien with Italian,
Dandelion with battalion,
Rally with ally; yea, ye,
Eye, I, ay, aye, whey, key, quay!
Say aver, but ever, fever,
Neither, leisure, skein, receiver.
Never guess-it is not safe,
We say calves, valves, half, but Ralf.
Starry, granary, canary,
Crevice, but device, and eyrie,
Face, but preface, then grimace,
Phlegm, phlegmatic, ass, glass, bass.
Bass, large, target, gin, give, verging,
Ought, oust, joust, and scour, but scourging;
Ear, but earn; and ere and tear
Do not rhyme with here but heir.
Mind the o of off and often
Which may be pronounced as orphan,
With the sound of saw and sauce;
Also soft, lost, cloth and cross.
Pudding, puddle, putting. Putting?
Yes: at golf it rhymes with shutting.
Respite, spite, consent, resent.
Liable, but Parliament.
Seven is right, but so is even,
Hyphen, roughen, nephew, Stephen,
Monkey, donkey, clerk and jerk,
Asp, grasp, wasp, demesne, cork, work.
A of valour, vapid vapour,
S of news (compare newspaper),
G of gibbet, gibbon, gist,
I of antichrist and grist,
Differ like diverse and divers,
Rivers, strivers, shivers, fivers.
Once, but nonce, toll, doll, but roll,
Polish, Polish, poll and poll.
Pronunciation-think of Psyche!-
Is a paling, stout and spiky.
Won't it make you lose your wits
Writing groats and saying "grits"?
It's a dark abyss or tunnel
Strewn with stones like rowlock, gunwale,
Islington, and Isle of Wight,
Housewife, verdict and indict.
Don't you think so, reader, rather,
Saying lather, bather, father?
Finally, which rhymes with enough,
Though, through, bough, cough, hough, sough, tough??
Hiccough has the sound of sup...
My advice is: GIVE IT UP!

NGẤP NGHÉ THI ĐÀN


Mấy lần ngấp nghé thi đàn.

Muốn vào chơi, sợ mấy chàng cười cho.

Vài câu lục bát vòng vo.

Gửi chào các bạn chung đò thơ văn:)



Sáu rồi tám chữ  như thần

Hát thơ lục bát, gửi vần thương yêu

Cuộc đời ngắn chẳng bao nhiêu

Xin mau sống trọn mấy điều ghi tâm

Đức tài hai chữ cao thâm

Hành cho trọn nghĩa, không lầm không sai

Một lòng chung thủy không hai

Tình non nghĩa nước chẳng phai câu thề

Một nhà Nam Bắc đề huề

Thi đàn Nước Việt đi về có nhau.

RECITE LOVE POEMS IN VIETNAMESE


Dear Lee,

It's a wonderful day today. I was so happy that you and your mother enjoyed  the tour so much. I have to admit that now I am exhausted after an exciting day. But to keep my promise, I am writing you something.

It was nice to start a tour with a "Happy Birth Day" song for your mother.  I am so happy that your mother received so many calls from her best friends and she always mentioned Vietnam, the tour and the tour guide in her talks.

It is so exciting that your mother, you and I have a lot of things in common: the love for history, cultures, nature, and especially poetry.

Lee, I can imagine that your Vietnamese girl friend was very much surprised to hear you recite love poems in Vietnamese.

Anh xin lỗi đã để em một mình
Nhưng em ơi, xin đừng buồn, đừng khóc
Dù ở nơi nào, anh vẫn thương, vẫn nhớ
Vẫn nghĩ về em, em dấu yêu ơi!

I am sorry to leave you alone
My darling, please don’t be sad and don’t cry
Wherever I am, I still love you, I miss you
I always think of you, my dearest love


Con
Chim xanh
Đậu trên cành
Cất tiếng hát líu lo
Chào đón mặt trời lên
Tôi muốn viết một  bài thơ
Để tặng em yêu dấu
Không nghĩ được lời
Ngoài cảm xúc
Tôi yêu
Em


A
Blue bird
On the branch
Sings a sweet song
To welcome the rising sun
I want to write beautiful poems
For my own dearest love
I find no words
But the feeling
I love
U

Lee, thanks for the beautiful term: “Food For The Mind”. I will rearrange my blog and set up a new store for “Food For The Mind” Come in to visit sometimes and bring more food for the mind. Thanks.

Thanks for your love to Vietnam and your strong will to study Vietnamese. This inspires me to open up a page for basic Vietnamese lessons. Hope you will become my regular visitor. You will find a way to learn Vietnamese in a special and romantic wayJ

See you again, on the internetJ
Hẹn gặp cháu trên internet. Cô sẽ giúp cháu học Tiếng Việt và  bày cháu diễn đọc/ diễn ngâm thơ nữa đó J ( read/ recite poetry beautifully)

CHÚNG EM BƠI ĐẾN TRƯỜNG


http://thethaovanhoa.vn/475N20110923070528052T0/hai-cay-cau.htm


Ngày hai buổi chúng em bơi đi học

Vì bản em nghèo không có cầu qua sông

Dù con nước êm đềm hay chảy xiết

Em vân kiên cường bơi qua sông!

Em yêu trường, em cần con chữ

Em cẩn thận bọc áo quần, sách vở

Túi ni lông cũng giúp chúng em bơi

Có đôi khi túi rách, vở ướt tơi bời

Cô giáo không mắng chúng em mà chỉ rơi nước mắt!

Cô giáo ơi, xin cô đừng khóc

Em sẽ ngoan, chăm học để cô vui

Em sẽ giữ cặp trên đầu thật khéo

Vỡ sẽ khô, chữ sẽ chẳng bị nhòe...

Cô giáo cười, đôi mắt đỏ hoe!








BÁNH CANH


Bánh canh cá lóc Thủy Dương
Đậm đà hương vị quê hương tuyệt vời!



Bánh canh Nam Phổ xin mời
Chả cua, tôm, thịt, bột thời dẽo ngon


CƠM HẾN




Cơm, rau, bắp chuối, hến xào
Ruốt, đậu, tóp mở, ớt, dầu, tiêu cay
Nước hến chan một tô đầy
Hít hà, tấm tắc món nầy quá ngon!

CHÁO LÒNG



Cháo lòng mẹ nấu năm xưa
Đến chừ hương vị vẫn chưa phai mầu
Tháng năm mưa nắng dãi dầu
Đôi vai mẹ gánh đậm sâu ân tình
Hát rằng: Cầu ngói đóng đinh
Cầu tre lắt lẻo gập nghềnh khó đi
Khó đi mẹ dắt con đi
Con đi trường học mẹ đi trường đời"
Trường đời vất vả ngược xuôi
Để cho trường học sáng ngời ước mơ
Cháo lòng mẹ nấu năm xưa
Đến chừ hương vị vẫn chưa phai mầu

HẠ LONG TÔI YÊU EM

Ôi, Hạ Long, tôi yêu em tha thiết

Ôi, Hạ Long, tôi bầu em Kỳ Quan

Tôi đã nhắn tin Halong, gửi 147


Em đẹp quá, ngôn từ không tả nổi

Hơn ngàn đảo nhấp nhô

Trên biển xanh đẹp nhất

Tôi trong em và em trong tôi

Trong tim tôi, khao khát hòa bình

Tôi yêu sắc mầu em, sắc mầu diễm lệ

Lấp lánh từ chim muông, lá hoa, hang động,

trời cao và biển rộng

Lấp lánh từ nụcười và ánh mắt thân thương

Ôi Hạ Long, làm sao tôi nói hết

Tình yêu của tôi cho em

Dưới ánh trăng, em hôn lên mắt tôi

Trong giấc mơ thôi, hương thơm em vẫn thoảng

Giọng thầm thì ngọt ngào của biển

Rồng Mẹ, Rồng Con đang hạnh phúc vui đùa


Cảm ơn Trời đã đưa Rồng Thiêng đến

Cảm ơn Rồng đã xua bóng quân thù

Đã hi sinh và yêu thương, ở lại

Cho quê hương hàng ngàn ngọc quý trân

Để Hạ Long thành Vịnh đẹp vô ngần


Ôi, Hạ Long, tôi yêu em tha thiết

Ôi, Hạ Long, tôi bầu em Kỳ Quan







HALONG BAY I LOVE YOU

Halong Bay, I love you!
Halong Bay, I voted you!

You are so wonderful beyond words
With a thousand and more islets above the blue
Of the most beautiful sea
I am among you and you are in me
In my heart and my love for peace
I love your colors, the colors of beauty
Shining from birds, animals, leaves, flowers, caves, the high sky and the vast sea
Shining from the friendly smiles and looks
Oh, Halong Bay, I give up
How to say my love for you

Under the moonlight, you kiss my eyes
In my dream, your aroma still spread
Whispers from the sea are so sweet
Happy Dragons are playing happily

Thanks Heaven for sending Sacred Dragons
Thanks Dragons for your support to send the enemies away
For your sacrifices and love to stay
And give us thousands of pearls
To make Halong the most beautiful Bay of the World

Oh, Halong BayI love you!
Oh, Halong BayI voted you!
