每天一诗 英语诗歌

橡皮的苦恼

A Miserable Eraser

一行行听话的汉字

跟着铅笔将队伍排好

橡皮的心中却装满烦恼

Characters of rows as docile by law

follow a pencil in a procession civil;

Yet an eraser, instead,

Fills with miseries in his head.

　　
　　为什么我不能像铅笔那样

在纸上种一地会跑的花朵？

为什么我不能像铅笔带着汉字一样

领着花朵奔跑？

Why am I

not like a pencil  on the paper

to plant flowers of a plot?

Why am I

not to take the lead of the running flowers

Just like the pencil leads the characters?

　　
　　橡皮多想亲吻一遍铅笔排列过的汉字

而受惊的汉字却被橡皮统统吓跑

橡皮还在无声的灯影下藏着苦恼

其实它不明白自己的奥妙

How eager is the eraser

Just once, to kiss the characters

Arranged by the pencil!

Why the eraser being on the way

All the characters are scared away!

The eraser is still  in the silence of lamp-shadow

Bearing too much guilt---

He really knows not the secret of his own.
