英文五言绝句（5-syllables-4-line-stanza）
之一
Where is my home land,
The place where I stand.
Talks cheap, ideas cheat,
To love things, at hand.
之二
Come with a clear shade,
Go with a trace laid.
Come, go, all around,
Till then, all things fade.
之三
Come and go, around,
Try to find, get found.
Good or bad, at times,
At last, all are bound.
之四
A boy has a date,
A girl, always late.
At last, here she comes,
love comes out of hate.
之五
A big nose, big eyes,
Your Chinese, surprise.
One twisters more tongues,
He must eat French fries.
过去介绍过英文四行诗(4-Line stanza)，当时说的是每行2X5个音节（pentameter），然后AABA排韵。前不久有个网友 come_and_go很简单地搞了个五言绝句，即像中文五绝，只要五个音节。这是他的原文：
Come without a shade
Go without a trace
Hook up Jaws the Shark
with a flaming bait
在下很感兴趣，当时和了一首：
Come with a nice maid,
Go with a love made
No hook and no shark
But, a simple gold braid
这几天，琢磨这个洋五绝，放不下，又试写了几首。之五是写给youtube上的一个节目，一个洋小伙儿，用地道的中文讲相声。这里是连接：
