At two ends of adversity

This is a short poem by journalist and poet Nguyen Hong Vinh with simple lyrics but vividly depicting the contrasting natural landscape in the North, where in one month, there have been 5 consecutive cold spells; while in the South, the sun is blazing hot, many areas of rice fields are cracked and cracked, plants and animals are dying, and livestock lack a source of livelihood. In that context, a couple in love had to abandon their date to go on a spring outing together. However, this distance and busy work were sympathized and shared by both of them, encouraging each other to overcome difficulties, waiting for autumn to come to meet and exchange love. The love itself was nurtured, and has been lighting up hope and trust for the two young people...

Respectfully introduce this poem:

ON TWO ENDS OF ADVERSITY

It's hot and dry in here.

The field cracked so wide that it was barely audible.

The cactus is withered.

The sheep have no more food!

In the North, I was in adversity.

Cold and cold forever

Thin clouds for a few days

Cold weather is coming again!

Farmer's work

Busy as a baby

Keep the cows warm

Then cover the rice fields...

Missed the appointment three times.

Let's go on a spring trip together

God is so cruel

Steal our spring?!

Loneliness after loneliness

But the love still flows

Used to waiting

Love is forever!

Autumn will come

Weather in two regions

Shortened warp

We meet again in spring!...

Early 2024

Nguyen Hong Vinh
