Poetry for childhood

Author Cù Huy Hùng, with his lullaby "Father Lulls Child to Sleep" in the rhythmic lục bát (six-eight) meter: "Lull your child to sleep in dreams / Let father choose a folk song to sing," portrays the image of many fathers taking on the familiar tasks of mothers, yet still overflowing with love.

Author Ho Huy Son views city life through a childlike lens with his poem "Iced Tea Pot," using three-word lines like nursery rhymes; free iced tea pots appear in many places in Ho Chi Minh City, helping passersby quench their thirst on hot days: "The midday sun blazes / Sweat falls / Come on, please / Have some iced tea!"

SGGP newspaper introduces poems by authors Cu Huy Hung and Ho Huy Son as a way to share joy with children during the month of June.

Father sings lullaby to his child

Lull your baby to sleep, dreaming sweet dreams.

Let my father choose a folk song to sing.

The shadow of a white stork across the sky

Before the herd could even get its stomach churning, it was all over again.

The stork's house is far away in the vast forest.

The baby stork misses its mother and dreams of her.

Dad, sing your baby a good night's sleep.

Just keep dreaming sweet dreams, nestled in your father's arms.

The market was far away, my mother just got home.

Bring some candy and snacks as gifts for the children.

The stork's shadow has just reached the mountaintop.

Soon to enter the cozy home for a deep, peaceful sleep.

Iced tea

Under the shade of the tree

Who's passing by here?

Please come in!

Open very gently

Add water.

Watch out for overflow!

Take just enough!

People on the street

Together, through

Meet the teapot

Then they were overjoyed.

The midday sun blazes down

Sweat is dripping.

Please come in.

Have some iced tea!

Oh, I love it so much!

Truly fragrant
