On a Chair in the Park     Hsu ChiCheng  WAAC World Congress of Poets

Sitting on a chair in the park

I spend this nice summer afternoon all alone

The park is very large

There are a gymnasium, a sport ground, a ball stadium

And a playground for children

Turfs and trees can be seen here and there

There is a long chair under a tree

Near a narrow path

I sit on the chair under a tree

Gentle breeze is blowing against my face

The fragrance of flowers, grasses, trees and earth is setting around me

Bright sunlight shines on the turf

White clouds are floating in the blue sky

Children are playing or flying kites

Some people are walking leisurely

Some people are playing balls on the sport ground

All are doing what they like

I sit quietly on the chair under a tree

This is my freedom, my right

Like this I sit leisurely on the chair

The whole afternoon

The sun is setting

I am walking towards home leisurely
