One poem by Changming Yuan


Just a quick note: A parallel poem
            
Sorry 
To have
Changed
The lock
Though
I had
Strongly 
Wished
There 
Would 
Never
Be 
Such 
Need

    A strong poem Chanming that speaks of betrayal. It makes great impact the way you've laid out the poem.

    Reminds me of some of William Carlos Williams works in its brevity and pith.
