初 夏           2023. 5. 8

——嵌入陸游詩句「年光佳處惟初夏」

年光佳處惟初夏  使盡韶華趁此時

朵朵花新爭鬥艷  朱唇半啟拼如斯

Early Summer / Monica Chen

Early summer is the best time in the year,

At this time things make the most of it at full gear,

All flowers are fighting to blossom for beauty.

Even those with vermilion lips half-opened are fighting like this in cheer.

仙境一瞥 圖/網  2023. 6.7

一面琉璃照向天  微風扇動繞輕煙

柳條自蘸清波綠  瀲滟紋中出朵蓮

A glimpse of Wonderland / Monica Chen

A piece of glass shines to the sky,

Light wind moves around smoke lingeringly high,

Willow self dipped in  green clear wave,

Lotus rise from the twinkling lines.
