My heart aches for the storm and flood in my homeland!

Since the beginning of the year, the whole country has been affected by 12 storms and floods. And the natural disasters may not stop on the beloved Fatherland. People in the storm and flood areas, and those far from home, are all heartbroken and hoping for peace to return to all regions.

SGGP newspaper introduces the poems of two authors, Bui Viet Phuong and Thuy Vy, as a way to share the ongoing losses caused by the fury of nature.

Over the flood

The bridge to the old countryside

Now no one can pass,

Today's flood is on top of the flood.

Hoai looked at the roof dotted.

***

Wife anxiously beside old mother, water overflowing from the end of the street

He rowed the boat in the rushing water.

Where does water come from and where does it go?

The river flows as if standing still.

***

Are there any high points that have not been mentioned?

But the flood peak did not reach?

Arm touched arm

In the cold rain, mother sat making a fire

***

Suddenly saw many high points above the flood peak

Step out of the mud to find our street again...

Upstream wind

Rainy hometown

Rainy city

longing for the sunlight to shine through and expose the sadness of being far from home

the water crossed the heart of the person was limp

Is there any dry place?

***

Where does the sun hide to let sadness rise?

pain all over

remember the day of settling down

***

I didn't sleep last night

dreams are also flickering

everywhere is flooded land resentment

rushing to find the way to the sea

***

Eyes no longer have room

give way to the heart calling each other

half a bowl of dry rice, salt, beans, and sesame seeds

vast water

***

Rainy hometown

Rainy city

just listen to the wind upstream

oh my homeland
