Nguyen Quang Thieu - a great poet of contemporary Vietnamese poetry affirms: "Without faith, even the strongest people will only be existing objects". And when there is faith, trust, and love, we are warm all year round.

LAT TRANG VU QUYNH HUONG It's easy for ten years I've been through the lonely winter of banyan trees falling leaves Weaving clothes and scarves to keep warm for the day The charcoal stove in the street corner in the evening is red with fire Corn grains cracked, the smoke is still stinging Winter clothes and scarves quickly blinking The faint handshake is long gone There are things passing by that can't be counted Life rolls itself up and floats The old flower of the day withered fragrantly Even the noon sun squeezes like a streak of color I draw back what is the past Save all the things that will be forgotten quickly Each world has a very different direction Where you are, you won't have a sigh Ten years of clothes and scarves on your shoulders very tightly I copy each line, both right and wrong The men will pass Only poetry is left Hanoi - Winter - I flit through each page, each page lacking desire and love abundantly The cold breath fills each bright night star The world with you has only one color
CHRISTMAS GIFTS TRAN MAI HUONG Grandma!
Santa Claus, is tonight coming grandma?
He wears red clothes Heavy gift bags On his shoulder Our house is really small, cramped Can he get in?
How can he have time to cross many mountains and many rivers?
Huging grandchild, grandma said softly: Santa Claus, the snow will pass Grandpa loves you very much Poor children still have gifts Grandchild sleeps soundly Grandma goes to find them, picks them up immediately Small toys Cherished for so many days In a tiny dream Grandchild's lips glimpse of smile A true belief Pure and innocent Admiring grandchild in silence Grandmother silently Suddenly feels sad Grandchild is about to become an adult Joy is gone Some Christmas I won't wait When I know Santa Claus It's just a dream Some Christmas Grandmother is not in the world Grandchild will surely be very sad An orphaned grandchild.

SOL VI THUY LINH'S LIPS.
A burst of eyes in the curtain-raising room in the West.
Only seeing those eyes.
Eyes repeatedly looking up at the sky with you.
Praying to God for mercy.Don't leave me!Because I hope to have you - I need to be by your side.Revelation from harmonious harmony and wisdom.The seasonal pain does not make me forget the appointment.Life is full of suffering.No reason to disappoint each other for fear of pain.Falling low, rising high, clouds - cars flying.Nothing can stop us both.It's never too late to start!I'm overwhelmed by the billionaire soul.I can sympathize with every thought.Singingly saying one interesting thing.Don't worry anymore!Even sometimes being pessimistic can make us see a flock of stars as scattered fireflies.Many fireflies as many as shrimp on a day when the sky changes.Many things to remember, many things to forget.But how can I forget the kiss full of you?A craze of
Ear comes DOU HOAI THANH Ear comes eyes waiting for someone the wind alone a missing moon on that side the blue sky my eyes con cao nho a round of hands that afternoon inadvertently or creation changed milk flowers falling all over the road thin scent new poem with scribbled strokes afraid of a strange wind coming and taking it away...
sunset as if the moment of separation picking up the sun strands I weave into a bag to gather Winter wrapped in poetic nostalgia wandering in the sky foolishly foolishly I hoang hoai the old days regretted so many winters have passed why is it always bon chon mai the cold wind blows weeping each leaf thirst tightly hugs the dream let's leave behind all the old past the blue grass will just creep back into memories I hear the heartfelt sound of night I am late now are I late?
will the white chrysanthemum seasons drift far away?...
