Girl at the Window

Dears:

Thank you all for your responses. The following poem is my note of gratitude. Take it lightly, though.

窗前伫立的姑娘,
收起心绪箩筐!
冰的火热
火的冰凉
三千长的记忆
街头叫卖的小曲
“冰糖葫芦哩”。

不要被我的假象迷惑
哭泣的欢颜
开怀的清泪
我不是你眼中的紫薇。

The girl at the window,
Conceal your thought willow!
The ice is scathing
The fire is freezing
The memory of three thousand meters long
Is mingling into the pedlar's song
"Bing Tang Hu Lu"--Bang!


Sugared berry
Sour sweet
Buy one and
Get two free.

Enjoy!

嘿嘿,看了听了都舒服,确实像燥热的冬天一串冰糖葫芦,清凉败火,甜而不腻。有空贴点贝贝的照片,就这个姨没看到了。
