大自然

何诗琪(10岁,小荷诗社)

大自然,大自然

有花有草

有树有木

它们无处不在

蒲公英和风有约定

所以我不吹

Nature

He Shiqi (10, Xiaohe Poetry Society)

Nature, nature,

With flowers and grass,

With trees and woods,

They are everywhere.

The dandelion has a promise with the wind,

So I won’t blow.

  ….      ……..

世界

肖世琪(10岁,小荷诗社)

世界,世界

优美的世界

和平的世界

平等的世界

我喜欢这个世界

The World

Xiao Shiqi (10, Xiaohe Poetry Society)

The world, the world,

A beautiful world,

A peaceful world,

An equal world.

I love this world.

乡村

席江平(10岁,小荷诗社)

乡村,乡村

纯真的乡村

漂亮的乡村

富有的乡村

和谐的乡村

迷人的乡村

五颜六色的乡村

Countryside

Xi Jiangping (10, Xiaohe Poetry Society)

Countryside, countryside,

Innocent countryside,

Beautiful countryside,

Prosperous countryside,

Harmonious countryside,

Charming countryside,

Colorful countryside.

 ………..

乡下人家

付凌微(10岁,小荷诗社)

乡下人家,乡下人家

绿树青藤瓜架

春雨嫩笋鲜花

群鸡悠闲觅食

池中鸭鹅玩耍

Country Folk

Fu Lingwei (10, Xiaohe Poetry Society)

Country folk, country folk,

Green trees and green vines on the trellis,

Spring rain, tender bamboo shoots and fresh flowers.

Flocks of chickens forage leisurely,

Ducks and geese play in the pond.

我的梦想

陈歆彤(11岁,小荷诗社)

我的梦想,我的梦想

太阳有上升的方向

星星有发光的亮点

而我,只有一个小小的梦——

优秀的幼儿园老师

每次看见小孩子

那些可爱的瞬间

心会被融化

为了这个小小的梦

我可做出了大大的努力

刘老师说:当幼儿园老师没那么容易呢

你要会唱歌、跳舞、画画

样样都会

于是所有假期里

我一直在学习这些才艺

追梦大无惧

我们一起吧!

My Dream

Chen Xintong (11, Xiaohe Poetry Society)

My dream, my dream,

The sun has a direction to rise,

The stars have bright spots to shine.

But I have only a tiny dream —

To be an excellent kindergarten teacher.

Why?

Every time I see the little ones,

Those lovely moments,

My heart melts.

For this tiny dream,

I have made great efforts.

Teacher Liu said:

Being a kindergarten teacher isn’t that easy,

You must be able to sing, dance, and draw,

Be good at everything.

So during all the holidays,

I keep learning these skills.

Fearless in chasing dreams,

Let’s go together!

卢佳仁(9岁,毓秀小学)

家,家

大海是雨滴的家

来来往往

来来往往

躺在妈妈的怀抱

听摇篮曲

Home

Lu Jiaren (9, Yuxiu Primary School)

Home, home,

The sea is the raindrop’s home,

Coming and going,

Coming and going.

Lying in mother’s embrace,

Listening to the lullaby.

打翻了

何雨诺(9岁,毓秀小学)

打翻了,打翻了

顽皮的风孩子

打翻了垃圾桶

垃圾桶的烦恼

也全被倒掉了

Spilled Over

He Yunuo (9, Yuxiu Primary School)

Spilled over, spilled over,

The naughty wind child,

Spilled over the trash can.

All the troubles of the trash can,

Were also poured out completely.

风好大

马梦芙(9岁,毓秀小学)

风好大,风好大

空气中弥漫着

沙土的味道

小石头

打在脸上生疼

天空飞翔的小鸟

迷失了方向

水里游泳的小鱼

钻进了石缝

刚出生的小狗

躲在妈妈怀里瑟瑟发抖

我养的蚕宝宝

都吓得跑到了蚕丝被中

The Wind Is Strong

Ma Mengfu (9, Yuxiu Primary School)

The wind is strong, the wind is strong,

The air is filled with

The smell of sand and soil.

Small stones,

Sting my face when they hit.

Little birds flying in the sky,

Lost their way.

Little fish swimming in the water,

Slipped into the cracks of the stones.

A newborn puppy,

Trembling in its mother’s arms.

The silkworm babies I raise,

All scurried into the silk quilt in fear.

天黑了

贺子璎(9岁,毓秀小学)

天黑了,天黑了

渐渐地黑了

满天的星星

像一簇簇极小极小的火苗

在空中向我眨着眼睛

它仿佛在跟我说话

它说

明天晚上

它就不来了

我在睡梦中才知道

原来

乌云婆婆就要来做客

明晚

我就见不到星星了

It’s Getting Dark

He Ziying (9, Yuxiu Primary School)

It’s getting dark, it’s getting dark,

The sky,

Gradually turns dark.

Stars all over the sky,

Like clusters of tiny, tiny flames,

Blinking at me in the air.

It seems to be talking to me.

It says,

Tomorrow night,

It won’t come.

I only know in my sleep,

That,

Auntie Dark Cloud is coming to visit.

Tomorrow night,

I won’t see the stars anymore.

 超能力

温暖(9岁,毓秀小学)

超能力,超能力

小时候

我很贪玩

每天看电视

看着看着

就在沙发上睡着了

但是到了早上

却发现自己睡在床上

慢慢长大了

这种超能力

就消失了……

Superpower

Wen Nuan (9, Yuxiu Primary School)

Superpower, superpower,

When I was little,

I was very playful.

I watched TV every day,

And before I knew it,

Fell asleep on the sofa.

But in the morning,

I found myself sleeping in bed.

As I grew up slowly,

This superpower,

Disappeared……
