1. Poem: The Memory of Chrysanthemum's Color - Phan Thu Hà
The Memory of Chrysanthemum's Color
Author: Phan Thu Hà
Who just sang, 'Autumn comes with chrysanthemums'? *
Raindrops on the evening porch gently fall
The vibrant flowers glow with the last light of the sun
The twilight hesitates, softly unfolding.
You stayed behind to keep autumn from leaving too soon
So I could return to a brief moment of my childhood
Happily skipping through Hanoi's autumn sky
With the school bell ringing and the sound of laughter filling the air.
Could I ever forget that flower's color
The first flower you gave me on our farewell day
When I boarded the train to another land
Leaving behind the golden autumn in my hometown.
I know that the past cannot return
Yet my heart stirs as the autumn winds blow
My heart aches at the sight of the golden chrysanthemums
Holding a deep memory, I stand lost in thought.
Phan Thu Hà -
* lyrics from the song 'Poetry of Love at the End of Autumn' by Phan Huỳnh Điểu

Daisy Blossom
Poem: Ho Viet Binh
I adore the golden sunshine of daisies
While you are lost in gazing at endless daisies
Delicate tiny flowers, so graceful
They proudly bloom as if reluctant to walk away.
Golden stamens, fragile white petals
Shivering in the breeze, making my heart flutter
Oh look, the girl with rosy cheeks
Your dress brightens the entire dawn field.
The wind whispers as your dress flutters
As the daisies sing, enchanting everyone.


3. Poem: The Meaning of Chrysanthemum - Truong Tuy Anh
The Meaning of Chrysanthemum
Poem: Truong Tuy Anh
The yellow leaves sway in the wind
Carrying the scent of chrysanthemums blooming at the doorstep
Glistening dew on the petals
The birds call their friends, filling the sky with unity
You are the PURE WHITE CHRYSANTHEMUM
Innocent and dazzling, captivating every heart
You are the YELLOW CHRYSANTHEMUM
Constantly striving to broaden horizons
You are the PINK CHRYSANTHEMUM
Wishing love and joy for every couple
You are the RED CHRYSANTHEMUM
Bringing health and beauty to spring's return
The ORANGE CHRYSANTHEMUM stands noble and grand
Symbolizing faithful friendships, both humble and esteemed
The colors of chrysanthemum—red, white, orange, yellow
Each one a beautiful hue calling forth autumn's arrival
Chrysanthemums bring peace
Wealth, luck, and health as springtime approaches.


4. Poem: Faded Sunshine - Tran Luc
Faded Sunshine
Author: Tran Luc
As autumn arrives, I unexpectedly become... a stranger
The yellow chrysanthemums remind me of past memories
Who is still waiting by the path to guide me home?
I walk alone beneath the rain on the last day of summer...
Before the storm, why did you leave so suddenly?
Holding our promises along the shaded trees
Before autumn, why do the leaves fall so early?
Flowers miss their moment, withering in the stillness...
The day you left, I faded away... a trace of sunlight
Our love left behind, lost in time...


5. Poem: The Legend of the Yellow Chrysanthemum - Nguyen Thi Xuan Huong
The Legend of the Yellow Chrysanthemum
Author: Nguyen Thi Xuan Huong
Once upon a time
In a small house
There lived a young girl
With her elderly mother
The mother was gravely ill
The daughter, kind and filial
Prepared medicine and meals
Traveling far and wide to seek cures
One day, while passing by
A quiet temple
She entered to light incense
Praying for her mother’s health
The child's pure heart
Touched the heavens above
The Buddha appeared before her
Transforming into a wise monk
He gave her a flower and whispered
Each petal represented a year
She counted them silently
The flower had five golden petals
Gently, she lifted each petal
And tore them into smaller pieces
Transforming the flower
Into countless tiny petals
From then on, her mother lived long
The yellow flower, later on
Was called the chrysanthemum!

Chrysanthemums and Autumn
Author: Tran Dieu Huong
The autumn sky is radiant
The flowers bloom in the garden
The sun still lingers
Resting on the chrysanthemum branches
The sun seems to urge
Calling the chrysanthemums into autumn
The flowers nod in agreement
Turning their petals to a golden sheen
Morning dew clings
To the fragrant chrysanthemum stems
The flowers bloom in golden hues
Glistening in the fresh sunlight
The vast green autumn
The chrysanthemums recall the golden sun
Welcoming the arrival of autumn
With the vibrant gold of chrysanthemums


7. Poem: Autumn's Arrival
Autumn's Arrival
Poet: Bui The Uyen
The late summer ends, as the chrysanthemums bloom brightly in yellow
In the garden, signaling the arrival of autumn
The southern skies seem distant, stirring feelings of longing
The northern lands feel far away, yet my heart remains heavy
In foreign lands, I dream of the form of the Willow tree
At home, I long for the shadow of the girl from my past
Sorrow lingers as the crane returns to its nest
The song of the changing seasons echoes in the air...

8. Poem: The Great Blossom - Trinh Thanh Hang
The Great Blossom
Poet: Trinh Thanh Hang
One day, I stopped, lost in my steps
And arrived at this place, a fairyland full of flowers
A vast space where heaven and earth unite
You awakened autumn, bringing it to life.
Gathering the rains from the scorching summer days
Harboring them with the drops of dew
Until one day, the great blossoms bloomed
Greeting the new day as autumn flowers blossomed.
The great blossom, modest in its bloom
Pure white, humbly standing, never flaunting
Thousands of petals come together to form a life
Calling autumn with its cool breeze.
If you pass this way, please do not forget
If you miss me, I am the great blossom of autumn
Softly, I offer a lullaby
As all things welcome the enchanting autumn.


9. Poem: The Colors of Chrysanthemum - Doãn Kim Oanh
The Colors of Chrysanthemum
Author: Doãn Kim Oanh
The flowers bloom all year round
Chrysanthemums in various bright colors
You came to school, writing poems in the margins
The golden chrysanthemums bloom every autumn.
Remind me of you with the gentle color of the flowers
Like the white wings of a nightingale
You bring warmth to the cold sky
Like stars falling from the sky.
The chrysanthemums bloom freely in life
A little child beside the wild chrysanthemums
Not showing off their beauty, but their fragrance lingers
Following me through the months and years.
Some chrysanthemums are red, some are green
They bloom proudly like princesses
You walk with someone, as the season enters the town
Leaving me lost in the steps to return...


10. Poem: Half a Season of Chrysanthemums - Phạm Quang Thu
Half a Season of Chrysanthemums
Author: Phạm Quang Thu
There was a season when chrysanthemums passed by
Golden and fragrant, those bright autumn days
The moon was waning, and I missed you so much
The flower field bloomed with the rich scent of chrysanthemums!
There was a season when our love was incomplete
The chrysanthemums continued to bloom, but your lips faded
You were one half, and the other half was naïve
We did not meet, and the first autumn felt bittersweet.
You never realized, but now it's too late
That autumn has swiftly passed, leaving one half behind
The other half thought there was no fire left
But you revived, filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums this autumn.
You haven't looked for that missing half
But autumn sowed the seeds of romantic poetry
Unexpectedly, on the first day of autumn, you crossed paths
The chrysanthemums bloomed, guiding the way through a season of love.
You stood still, like a stone, on an autumn afternoon
The beautiful autumn with fields of chrysanthemums
The old love took your hand, urging you forward
And you emptied your heart amidst the blooming chrysanthemums of the season!
On the first days of autumn, you were filled with soft, pink sunlight...

The Daisy Chrysanthemum
Author: Cẩm Chi Châu
Who brought the Daisy Chrysanthemum here
As winter arrives, it chills the heart
Pure and bright, it fills the sky
The buds of the chrysanthemums shine with innocence
The cold air brushes the lips
The sun lingers as the last rays drift across the sky
Though we live in this world
The flowers bloom for only half a month each year
No matter the storms or struggles
No matter love that stretches far apart
The Daisy Chrysanthemum will remain
Bringing lifelong happiness, steadfast and true
Today, I step out to the street
Hanoi shines with the vibrant flowers returning
The flowers bloom amidst the cold breeze
The blossoms flaunt their beauty, a vow lingering in the air.

The daisy welcomes the winter
Its blooms fill the sky with abundance and longing
The heart stirs with love’s embrace
The golden heart and white petals spread fragrance day and night
Sharing the autumn breeze’s chill
The warm sunlight sways, intoxicated by the earth and sky
In the hands of nature, joy unfolds
Nature’s beauty, the daisy stands in its glory
Young men and women fall under its spell
Flower and person bloom together, leaving a mark of life’s love.

Autumn and Chrysanthemums
Author: Thanh Tâm
For a thousand years, Autumn still roams
Granting the chrysanthemums a life full of wishes
With the gentle curve of a long dress
The pure golden hue ignites the heart's yearning
Autumn arrives, and desires awaken
As I caress the white chrysanthemums, holding them close
That color, I can never forget
The flowers of the first autumn, the ones you gave me
My heart anxious, with the return of the autumn wind
Since that day, and forevermore
I stand, lost in the memory of the bouquet you gave me.

Only one more day left
But it feels like an eternity
Oh, Daisy Chrysanthemum,
I've missed you for three seasons now!
For three seasons you've been waiting
Holding onto your pure colors
Waiting for the white season to return
Shining brightly in the fresh sunlight!
Tomorrow, my dear Daisy,
Let my longing finally be fulfilled
And soothe the ache of my heart!
Overwhelmed by you, filled with your beauty!

Yet I hold you dear
For the poetry within your charming bloom!

A little mist,
A little sunshine!
Delicate and pure, my flower,

17. Poem: Memories of the Daisy Flower Season - Thuy Duong
Memories of the Daisy Flower Season
Author: Thuy Duong
I walk beside you..
on this familiar road
The daisy flower..
whispers our love
By the lake..
it feels like the sunlight fades away
The waves gently rock..
caressing the shore of happiness...!
In late autumn..
I suddenly feel a stir in my heart
Walking with you..
the fragrance of daisies fills the air
Engulfing me..
in an endless melody
Rocking the love..
into the autumn evening of that day...!
The daisy season returns..
and I feel my heart rise
The daisy flower..
whispers under the golden sun
A flower..
with an endless essence..
Of Hanoi..
with the fickle golden sunlight...!
The small flower..
Not elegant or fancy..
But shining..
holding private feelings within
The delicate petals..
small and fragile
Like your shadow..
by the steps of the last autumn...!
The flower whispers..
sharing its love without haste..
Blending into autumn..
with all its private moments
Do you remember, my love..
when autumn was near its end
Oh the memories..
of that autumn evening...!
At West Lake..
it feels like the heart stirs..
Admiring the daisies...
and suddenly recalling the old memories...!
All these years..
yet the image still lingers..
Forever etched in my heart...!

Always You, the Daisy Flower

Your pretty bud shyly blooms
In the season, you are fresh and new
Pure and graceful, you show off your form
My daisy, you are the flower of the moment!
This winter is warm
Golden sunlight fills the air
You bloom, smiling so beautifully
More stunning than all the past seasons!
Shining under the bright sun
The beautiful flower captivates my soul
You will always be the one
My daisy, a lifelong beauty!
Floating, pure like the waves
Your love is innocent and clear
You will always be the one
My daisy, forever faithful!


19. Poem: Autumn and the Chrysanthemum - Nguyen Nguyet Anh
Autumn Chrysanthemums
Poem: Nguyen Nguyet Anh
I met you in the golden autumn
For the first time, like a fateful bond hard to forget
And when night falls, a nameless longing calls
I dream of willows by the chrysanthemums at the doorstep.
My love, I speak honestly
My heart is constantly urging love
To come to you, to fulfill all desires
Through storms and challenges, my heart remains unchanged.
Now that autumn has returned, please don’t be upset
So that my lonely room doesn’t feel sorrowful
So the cold moonlight chills my soul
And I walk alone, my steps heavy on the slippery road.
Do you remember the vow I made before?
To always build our dreams together
My words were like a binding spell
"UNSHAKEN HEART IN A WORLD FULL OF CHANGE".
My love for you is endless, like the waves of the sea
Caressing your heart, fulfilling all dreams
The old riverbank, the boat still waits patiently
The autumn, so poetic, painted with chrysanthemums.


20. Poem: Autumn and Chrysanthemums - Do Huong
Autumn and Chrysanthemums
Author: Do Huong
Autumn has turned everything golden
Causing leaves to flutter in the breeze
In the yard, chrysanthemums bloom in abundance
Your eyes reflect the sky’s cloudy hues.
For a thousand years, autumn will play on
Allowing the white chrysanthemums to live a lifetime of longing
The graceful curves of the girl in her áo dài
Pure and innocent, stirring the heart deeply.
Watching autumn awaken all desires
As the scent of chrysanthemums mingles with the memory of your hair...
