[bodytext] => It’s the eve of the Lunar New Year
With my Chinese friends, I want to be near Nearing midnight and my China doll and I go down To visit old Chinatown Buying the fortune cookies, new clothes Or to just hang around Morning has broken, a new day has come Children, bursting with joy, greeting the morning sun In the little ones eyes, I see the light For we all know the Lunar New Year is in sight From this day, our dreams must stay afloat As the Chinese community welcomes the year of the goat Recognized as the spring festival, the celebrations last 15 days And on the 7th day, it’s everybody’s birthday The Chinese community will be buying presents, food and decorations On the eve, the reunion dinner with family members becomes a yearly tradition Exchanging mandarin oranges is must As family and friends build their relationships on mutual trust Together with the other ethic groups, the celebrations nurture goodwill Doting parents in their children, love and kindness, they will instill A very Happy Lunar Year or as they say in Chinese “ Gong Xi Fa Cai When visiting your Chinese friends, the delicious steamboat, you ought to give it a try Rejoice, beat the drums and bring on some good cheer For the Lunar New Year comes but once a year Sincerely, Raymond Anthony Fernando @copyrightraymondfernando [comments] => 2 [counter] => 217 [topic] => 35 [informant] => Raymond_Anthony_Fernando [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SpecialOccassion )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
