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

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

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