小孙女的三首英文诗
[第一首，商籁体，即十四行诗（用莎士比亚式韵脚）；第二首，俳句；第三首，自由体。初中英语课作业，破天荒地得了A. 不知泱泱大国，是否教孩子们学写古体诗词。传统呢？文化呢？数千年的文明呢？嗟乎！悲乎！]

1) SONNET
Her eyes are like crystals in the sunlight
They're bright as the eye of heavens beams
Her cheeks leave behind a rosy delight
She looks like one of those beautiful queens
Her hair as soft as fluffy white cotton
The warmth she gives is soothing to the heart
The joyful happiness that she bought in
Ayva and I can never be apart
She is the birth of my joy and daylight
She brings bliss to every room she enters
Her never-ending beauty is so bright
In my heart she is always the centre
Ayva will be my forever best friend
forever best friend till the very end
2)HAIKU
The colours shine bright
The happiness after rain
That lightens the day
The crashing waves
They collide with the sky
While the sun shines
When the snow glistens
They drift towards the ground
A cold winters day
3)FREE VERSE
Welcome to society
Please have an enjoyable stay
Make sure to be yourself
If it's the right way
We can make you stop smiling
And then ask why you frown
Just try as hard to be perfect
Or we will tear you down
We might tell you that you're useless
But don't take that to heart
We won't cause you too much stress
Unless it's for the best
You can share your opinions
If you put them in our view
We'll turn you into our minions
If you look too blue
Welcome to society
Just know that you can't leave
