Snowflake ( eat Peking duck in three different ways)

Actually this post isn't about how to eat a duck in three different ways ( 一鸭三吃), 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.

 

【七绝】雪花

 

玲珑六角具觭骸，脱俗超凡天外来。

飘落人间接地气，只因心里纳尘埃。

 

注：

(1) 觭，Jī，古通“奇”，单一，唯一的意思。

(2) 雪花的形成开始于高空中的水蒸气凝聚在空气中飘浮的尘埃上。

 

雪花

 

你有六角玲珑

独一无二的形骸

 

你开始于一粒

升自大地的尘埃

 

你在天外完成蜕变

又飘飘然然归来

 

你是超凡脱俗的精灵

又有最接地气的胸怀

 

生于尘埃归于尘埃

你的一生短暂精彩
