1. Poem: SAYING GOODBYE TO MARCH - Tony Bui
SAYING GOODBYE TO MARCH
Poem by: Tony Bui
March leaves behind within us,
Adding a touch of longing to sad verses!
Red hues of sorrowful rice flowers flow,
Weaving together melancholic verses with ease.
Apart from you, nights awake on the field,
Love etches remembrance, missing you much.
You are the stray sunbeam at dusk,
Sad verses, filled with countless dreams.
Your love is a poem,
Brimming with memories along the riverside.
March, memories of the field at night,
Forever haunting us about you.
Rice flowers, memories of a bygone era,
Fading hues, lonely in the long days?
A lifetime, not yet tired of waiting,
Grief accumulates through days of seeking each other.
Let us retain the colors,
Your love, rice flowers, enduring through life...

2. Poem: Alone - Trần Thanh Nhàn
Alone
By Trần Thanh Nhàn
I sit releasing the sun high
Releasing longing into the azure sky
Releasing worries into a gentle melody
Releasing my gaze upon a hue of flowers...
I sit counting the notes of March
Calling trumpet flowers back to the streets
Flooding the pure white space with memories
Fleeting and golden, new April beckons
Ps: Farewell March!

Poem by Hong Vu
Hello there, oh March
What rain has soaked my heart like this
March blows the thin leaves away
They land on the doorstep as the day breaks
Where does the wandering wind go
Singing what, the sparrows chirp on the threshold
Dewdrops gather on soft grass blades
Wind chime whispers, gentle calm as days pass
Hello there, oh March
You leave as the sun sets
Lifting the warm sunsets in hand
I love, love these moments so
The blossoming bud exudes an intoxicating scent
Who passes by in a white cloud-like garment
Resonating in the hearts of stringed instruments
April is letting go of yellow leaves outside the window.
