After Rain

It comes with breaking heart,

It falls with cracking sounds

“ O’ , wrong day to drop and dart”

The blue that melts, the shadow that blows

Through the dust appear

the trembling faint light

It leaves with black tiny blots

When Storm Comes

Talking sounds knock my window,

Tap its fingers on my wall

Tik Tok- Tik Tok like the clock

Surge the old melancholy once more

Night falls, the storm comes

and the curtain of shadow downs

  Shing-ling Shing-ling with the yell

Grows the swirl and grabs my world

O’ storm, storm, dear my storm

rushes, breaks and rises flood

Submerges my mind and destruct the road

Which way to my home dream

at this uneasy night

Mione Lai, 21^th Sept. 2013

／兩首關於文學方面，曾用英語和德語寫過詩詞和短篇散文，這次選修英詩賞析語朗讀才開始正式注重格律。因英語詩歌翻譯技巧尚為入門，因此暫不作此兩篇短詩之翻譯，恕請自行查閱或賞析。
