Poetry: Tony Bui
Spring arrives, spreading warm sunshine everywhere
A thousand flowers compete to bloom, embellishing life
Poetry flows, penning words of flowers and butterflies
Sweet thoughts, love's warmth, beautiful and fresh
Tet comes, the land and sky blooming with a thousand flowers
Celebrating spring, gathering with every home

6. PREPARING TẾT TRAY
Poetry by Nguyễn Trường
Each child in every household
Preparing the Tết tray, together or alone
Vegetarian or savory - the tray is splendid
Deities and ancestors swaying with the peach blossoms!
Wishing for abundant health
Families with noble virtues, high fortune, and success
Children gather around day and night
Friends and neighbors walk hand in hand!

7. WELCOMING THE NEW SPRING
Poetry by Đình Khải
Strolling along the familiar path
Leisurely admiring rows of trees, fruits
The bang tree has shed all its leaves
Leaving bare branches reaching across the sky
The loc vung flowers only leave
Green fruits on high branches peeking through
But that's life
Old things pass away for new things to sprout
Do you see it, dear? The cherry blossoms are blooming in red
Welcoming a new Spring
Let's go hand in hand
To a bright future awaiting us.
ĐÌNH KHẢI

8. Lunar New Year Wishes
Poetry by Hồ Viết Bình
Wishing Lunar New Year to every home
Chung cake, candied fruits, chicken sticky rice, flower branches
Wine and beer fleetingly pass by
Spending money to celebrate grandparents' and grandchildren's ages
The poor receive rice and clothes
The wealthy show their kindness and share
Laughter echoes in the countryside
Warm Spring sunshine floods everywhere.

9. New Year Wishes for Wife

10. New Year Poetry
Poetry by Mekong Memories
Listening to the early morning sun,
Birds chirp and call,
New buds bloom, golden apricot roots;
A few young children amidst the fresh peach blossoms,
Some elderly folks greet the coming spring.
So it's Tet,
Almost like the last night,
All joy and sorrow please close by the doorstep,
At that moment, fireworks burst brightly,
Welcoming the New Year,
Bustling everywhere.
Wishing every household a spring full of lush green,
A reunion Tet,
Happiness also shines brightly,
The young rejoice,
The old radiate,
A thousand smiles forever bright on their lips.
Wishing all beloved ones,
Forever peaceful,
Happiness always complete,
Whether poet or writer,
Or simply hoping for a safe New Year.
Spring arrives,
Wishing peace,
All things beautiful,
Bright throughout the year,
Fortune and luck complete,
Sending love with a thousand sweet words,
