去年10月7日，我在英文诗歌网站Allproetry上发表了一首英文诗《What's Your Language?》，当天被选上了首页。今年11月份这首诗入选了Allproetry出版的诗集《Is There Ever An End》。诗的主题是：爱是人类共同的语言（Love is the same language we all speak）。诗中象征性地采用了五种语言文字包括汉字“爱”，而这个“爱”字也因此成为了诗集中唯一的汉字。
Is there ever an end? 诗集封底上的引用语（quote by Antonio Brown）回答了这个问题：“The journey never ends, you just have to do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.”现在正值岁末之际，借此和大家一起共勉。
《What's Your Language?》
love
answers a British girl
counting the ravens on Tower Bridge
amor
shouts a Spanish boy
kicking a ball in a soccer field
amour
says a French woman
sitting on the black iron bench under a sycamore tree
Liebe
whispers a German gentleman
riding a white horse in a forest
爱
speaks a Chinese lady
walking on the Great Wall with a purple skirt
Comments from Allproetry* :
brendan law - A wonderful piece with very good structure.
Stiff Little Shrew - Great idea. Perhaps all languages are languages of love after all.
Jferry - Yes, there are several ways and languages in which to celebrate love. And we should celebrate that fact ... as this lovely poem does.
Poetryan - Grá (love)
responds an Irish boy
reading a lovely poem in the comfort of a home

中文版本
《什么是你的语言？》
爱
一个英国女孩回答
她在数塔桥上的乌鸦
爱
一个西班牙男孩喊道
他在足球场踢球
爱
一个法国女人说
她坐在梧桐树下的黑色铁椅上
爱
一位德国绅士低语
他在森林里骑着一匹白马
爱
一位中国女士说
她穿着紫色的裙子走在长城上
