1. Poem: June is Here
June is Here
Author: Ngoc Son Ho
June arrives, bringing cool breezes across the countryside
The rain surrounds, letting the summer sun escape
The fields are lined with raindrops, weaving in harmony
The rice sways gently, like a vibrant green silk sheet
Your house is next to mine
The Cà flowers on this side are still blooming with purple hues
The white Grapefruit blossoms at your house fill the air with fragrance
The sweet aroma drifts to the Mùng Tơi bushes
June arrives, and my heart feels suddenly adrift
The rain stops, but each drop still lingers
The narrow path you walk is graced by your drifting dress
The warm breeze brushes through the alley in the rain's aftermath
June returns, but fate has not yet drawn us together
We are still caught in the web of time, under the bright moon
Your hair dances in the breeze as you walk past
The purple Cà flowers and the fragrance of Grapefruit fill the air!!!


2. Poem: The Love Song of June
The Love Song of June
Author: Ngọc Hà Trần
May bids farewell to the students before the gate,
June arrives with light raindrops, dripping with sadness,
Here, the memories are filled to the brim,
Yet, why do the drops come short and long, oh rain!
June arrives, bringing sorrow as the petals fall,
The yearbook still clings to the moments that have not faded,
The small note handed over with care,
Sending a love song, full of melancholy, oh blooming Phoenix tree!
June paints a golden hue full of longing,
We stand absentmindedly, bidding farewell to Summer and welcoming Autumn!
The students hurriedly make promises,
Final exams approach, where will you go, my love?
How can we navigate the twelve harbors, clear and muddled?
The old Phoenix tree roots hold my hand, so I can guide you.
Two little birds rest on a soft branch,
Thirty years later, I remember... Softly... The first love!


3. Poem: June Has Arrived
June Has Arrived
Poet: Lão Nông TB
June arrives, but where are you?
The summer sky hides you so well... I search among the trees, their leaves barely shaking with the gentle breeze...
June arrives, and I wait for a shower,
To chase away the heat and bring you back to the path.
The rain in Saigon fades away too quickly,
As if afraid it might unintentionally dampen your footprints...
June arrives, and I remember the ice cream sticks,
The sound of the bell ringing in the park where we walked.
Your fingers intertwined under the lush green shade,
You left a smile for me, as I walked away from the street...
June arrives, and I become indifferent,
The city still crowded, but without you, it feels strange.
As I am far from you, Saigon feels too quiet,
No matter how many people go back and forth in different directions...
June, with Saigon's sun blazing high,
The masks only leave room for our eyes.
We lost you among the crowd with covered faces,
And silently returned to the lonely boarding house...
June sings alone in the night,
Staying awake, waiting for the lights of tall buildings to go out.
Saigon has no night, Saigon never sleeps,
I stay awake, just to remember you!


4. Poem: Oh June
Oh June
Poem: Trần Lộc
Restlessly... June will be here tomorrow
Secretly waiting for the golden sunshine of summer
To allow love to flourish, in awe and joy
My heart urges the scorching sunlight
Oh June! What are you planning with the purple Lagerstroemia
The sky turns completely violet, waiting in silence
The Phoenix flowers, angry and jealous, set the sky ablaze
The sấu trees weep as petals scatter on the ground
June's love is ever so intense, warm, and passionate
Breathing love into hearts full of uncertainty
Sweet kisses and the cool breeze of a storm
Eyes lost in thought, cheeks flushed with the red sunset
Walking together, hearts filled with longing
The white school uniforms of youth still linger
The violet ink stains, soaked in affection
Old love softly reflected in the cheeks...


5. Poem: June Afternoon
June Afternoon
Author: Ngô Minh.
June is here, my love.
I wait anxiously for the June rain?
Without the rain, my lips remain dry...
My eyes aren’t red from the falling petals of the phoenix flower.
I still wait for the voice of conscience.
When you love, be sincere, my dear.
Do you keep me locked up, waiting through life?
Afraid of those cold rainy afternoons when the wind blows!
Could it be... you don’t hear the fluttering?
The cicadas sobbing through the night?!


6. Poem: Oh June
Oh June
Poem: Final Love
The rain keeps falling endlessly tonight
Reminding me of the day we met
And how, in one lifetime, I embraced all the pain
The love so sweet yet left incomplete
June returns, recalling the heartbreak
Will this separation last for another life?
Turning away, the passion fades away
The cold days blur the rosy cheeks of a distant land
The farewell today with a heart heavy and worn
It felt like it never happened at all
Empty cup in hand, my soul lost and forlorn
Another unfulfilled dream fades away
They gave me every line of bitter poetry
Just like you, who broke our promises
I remember you, June, and the rain
Our happiness delayed, the debts of this life still not paid
Cư Jút, we never became husband and wife
Poverty scared me, afraid you'd suffer
Who would have known your path was full of bitterness
Through storms, wandering in the dark
My ex-lover moves on to a new love*
How painful it sounds, like a death rattle
Oh June, let me remain intoxicated
So I can write words of bitterness and disdain
Oh June, that hasty kiss
Love long lost, buried deep!
(*A verse from the song “NGƯỢC LỐI” by composer Phương Phạm)


7. Poem: June Love
June Love
Poem: Nguyễn Thị Hồng Hạnh
The June sun swings low in the summer sky
Painting the golden fields with the thirst for harvest.
You went to harvest rice in the village fields
The wind swept the rice, caressing your hair as you swore.
June brings the crimson flame of the phoenix flower
Stretching across the countryside, it holds the summer’s heat and the sound of cicadas
The schoolyard listens in silence
As young hearts in white uniforms say their goodbyes.
June’s clouds drift lazily, intoxicated
Turning the sky to a deep purple, the sunset heavy with promise.
The evening glow waits for the rain to pour
As summer draws to its end, and I miss you in your absence.
June, the sky remains clear
With the delicate fragrance of flowers in the air.
Gentle beside the blooming lotus
You grace my dreams as my heart yearns for you.
June preserves the spirit of love in verse
Even if distance keeps us apart, I still wait, still hope.
June love remains warm and deep
As the last days of summer welcome the arrival of fall.


8. Poem: Rain of June
Rain of June
Author: Bùi Thu Nga!
I still remember the rainy afternoons of June
The red phoenix flowers brushed the innocent dress
Sad eyes, the passing notes exchanged by hand
The schoolyard empty, leaves scattered along the narrow path.
Those untouched memories of youthful days
The sound of cicadas mournfully echoed, the breeze teeming with sorrow
Which blade of grass forever clings to my feet
The unspoken words forever lingering in my heart.
Then life diverged in countless ways
Initial tales returned to their original time
The old letter, its ink faded and dry
The scent of memories lingering sadly in dreams.
Still, a distant longing for a past dream
When the night falls, the silence echoes pain
Quietly, I wonder if you still remember me
Or if the memories faded from that moment onward.
Summer brings endless nostalgia for June, so sorrowful
Somewhere, do you see the rain falling...


9. Poem: June Returns to the Village
June Returns to the Village
Poem by: Trương Tuý Anh
Would you come back with me to my maternal grandparents' village?
We'll visit the vast fields together
The rice, heavy with grains, is ready for harvest
The sound of the boatmen singing... laughter fills the air
June returns with the bright summer sun
Fruits ripen in golden hues, swaying to invite us
Please, don’t hurry, let’s take our time
I’ll offer you rambutan, jackfruit... as gifts
In the distance, the sweet melody of a folk song hums
It tells the story of our river, where we once promised to meet
Every afternoon, we walk along the dike
The breeze gently caressing your rosy cheeks
Our farewell meal consists of freshly harvested rice and river fish
Saturated with the sweat of the hardworking farmers
The sunset hangs over the fragrant lotus pond
The scent of the pure flowers resting on your shoulders
June’s sky is blue with soft white clouds
Yet there are moments of rain, pouting in jealousy
The river swells, waves crashing against the shore
Bringing fertile silt, making the cornfields greener
OH, OUR HOMELAND, A MEMORY THAT NEVER FADE...


10. Poem: The Reign of Summer
The Reign of Summer
Poem by: Nam Bùi
I search for a patch of summer sun, drifting alone
The school gate closes as my heart beats rapidly
The exam season comes, the red phoenix flowers excitedly bloom
These passionate moments, eagerly pacing along the threshold.
Summer rushes back, filling the air with longing
Stirring the stillness, weaving the thread of memories
After class, we laugh and play joyfully
Today, I still feel the sweetness of these feelings.
The phoenix flowers flutter in the breeze, sparkling
Now, in class, I feel even more uplifted
All the dreams I once held dear are now fulfilled
Tell me, your heart sings with sincere devotion.
School days are beautiful, like a painting
In our innocence, we sought to win over everything
Gathering memories, overflowing with the scent of flowers and leaves
Sending love, rushing silently with quiet desires!


11. Poem: The June Promise
The June Promise
Poem by: Hoàng Chẩm
The June promise, to return to the old town
The schoolyard of the past still holds the tender traces of our steps
The farewell notes return with the white summer season
The purple flowers of the prideful crepe myrtle fill one’s heart with emotions.
When I left, I carried the river in my eyes
Too soon to say goodbye, no rain to accompany my departure
Exiled in this world, I hid away in a corner
Years pass, yet the longing for you still sways like the winds.
So many Junes have passed while I was asleep
I remember the silk scarves from those days when the wind tangled our hair
The evening rain greets us, wetting our shoulders in the street
But my heart no longer aches, just hesitating at the touch of your hand.
Do you see the half-moon high in the sky
The shadow of someone distant, long gone
That time when a smile was hidden behind your hair
One fleeting love that lingers for eternity.


12. Poem: June, the Exam Season
June, the Exam Season
Poem by: Nguyễn Thị Hồng Hạnh
The last month of summer makes my heart ache
The red phoenix flowers still bloom, bright and astonishing
The sound of cicadas plays a lively tune
The purple flowers of the prideful crepe myrtle fill the afternoon paths.
In June, my heart is full of memories
I remember walking to school together, early and late
The notes I wrote in the memory book
And the season of intense studying before the final exams.
In June, the end of summer brings a lingering sadness
Those days in white uniforms, full of love and longing
Moments captured in memories, deep in my heart
The innocent wishes and dreams of youth.
In June, as the pink sunlight fades
We say goodbye to our friends, hearts heavy and unsure
We bid farewell to the red phoenix flowers
We part from school, sharing words of affection.
In June, we graduate, yet memories linger
The love and friendship shared with classmates
The sound of cicadas still echoes in my mind
And the summer season, with exams, remains unforgettable.


13. Poem: June Returns
June Returns
Author: Trần Tân Mân
June arrives, summer follows the rhythm of poetry
The music of Trịnh plays softly as you sing
My heart flutters, the river flows with deep emotion
The crimson phoenix flowers long for joy to come.
The sound of cicadas echoes, stretching far
Leaving behind memories of a bright past
The summer sky and the old road embrace dreams
The golden evening waits, hoping for a passerby.
My hair touched with dew, the soul of poetry still lingers
Weaving the colors of the phoenix to sing in dreams
The sea of melodies, a love boat sails on waves
Embracing life, the late afternoon still brims with passion.
Sending my love, may these moments last forever
With a song beautiful in its words. Changing the past
Sixty years, and now life shines brightly
In the age of @, the 4.0 era.
Does the old romance stir a little wine in the heart?
You smile shyly, your cheeks blushing pink
The purple flowers paint the summer sky
Embracing life, loving it even in old age.


14. Poem: June, Written for You
JUNE... WRITTEN FOR YOU
Vũ Như
I carefully write the love song of June
Along with the strings of a dream woven with hope
Writing it for you... oh, my muse
With flowers and butterflies in the sunlit sky
The cicadas sing softly in a whisper
With my love, and the burning scent of affection.
The love song... you, my heart’s desire
We dream together, drifting on foreign shores
This love song carries everything here
The joys and sorrows, whispered at the edge of love.
There are moments of sadness, longing, and love
And the quiet fragrance of grapefruit flowers
Writing what I never had the chance to say
Forever quietly lingering on the tip of my tongue.
The love song is finished now
With all the yearning and nostalgic tremors
Given to you, my dear, from long ago
The joys and sorrows blossoming from my heart.
This love song contains a blue sky
Your eyes sparkling with playful pouts
There are things I never had the chance to say
Hoping one day we can connect through love
So that our hearts are no longer lonely and empty.
June’s rain falls, strangely sweet and endearing.


15. Poem: End of June
End of June
Author: Nguyễn Quang Minh
All the expectations, the distant shadows of fatigue
The love song like the aching sound of cicadas
As the phoenix asks where to place its hairpin
The echo of a call, white as it reverberates
The river flows backward, blocking the boat’s way here
At the end of June, clouds pile up, swirling
My inspiration runs dry, leaving poetry to stumble
Only a little passion remains, enough to say this much
Thank you for building this dreamlike love
Side by side, we hurriedly parted ways
In a faraway land, indulgence and affection exchanged
The innocent poetry of our youth, now dressed in new clothes
Under the mist, the old phoenix tree sways
At the end of June, the east wind chills to the bone
As the cotton tree flowers fall, their red petals
Do you understand how the heart’s wounds bleed?
At the end of June, the footsteps weave sorrow
Under the dark sky with no sun to shine
Where are the hands that once held with trembling hearts?
White covers the grave, as I’m laid to rest
July comes, with sympathy for the yellow autumn leaves
Let the clouds obscure the summer sun
The taste of lips is lost, leaving us thirsty
The distant past, so far away, still imprisoned.


16. Poem: Rain
Rain
Poem: Văn Minh Hoàng
Where is June, with the relentless rain?
The sky is dark, filled with sadness and despair
Shops are empty, deserted
Chairs are stacked in stores, the ferry of the evening drifts on.
Travelers stop, the sadness lingers
With tears flowing endlessly down the old river
How much love for the homeland can fit?
The connection to the land, halfway through, as the rains begin to fall.
The heart drifts as time passes
The memories of love severed, threads of the heart
I quietly hope that the rain will fill the riverbanks
Washing away the storms and the tumult of life.


17. Poem: Please don't paint the blunder on the June flower season
Please don't paint the longing on the June flower season
Poem: Tự Hàn
Please don't paint the yearning on the June flower season
The phoenix flower, like a burning heart, scorches the way back
The clouds sway, guiding the distant swan
The cicada, dry and still, plays its passionate tune
Please don't paint the yearning on the June flower season
The sun weaves golden threads that sketch a shape
The white ao dai, dyed with a thousand pure clouds
The wind unknowingly makes my heart flutter
Please don't paint the yearning on the June flower season
I can't embrace all the clouds of the evening
You're so far away, your hand stretched out forever
So the burning phoenix rain falls, endlessly
Thirty years lost in memories
In June, the cicadas still sing, lost and alone
Please don't paint the yearning on the June flower season
The phoenix keeps burning bright, for the one who remembers and dreams.


18. Poem: June Rain and the Longing
June Rain and the Longing
Author: Anh Quân
June arrives... do you feel a sense of unease
Is there a flutter, a wave of nostalgic emotions rising
June arrives... the Red Phoenix flowers begin to bloom
The school years shyly greet the summer
June arrives... embracing endless longing
Forever remembering a time of memories
Em ...the rose of my heart flutters
With a smile, your eyes, the shores of love
June arrives... with so many unanswered feelings
The schoolyard full of Phoenix flowers, the sunlit path
You beside me, pure in your white dress
Your joyful smile in the silent, innocent moment
June arrives... with so many emotions of passion
The fragrance of broom flowers fills the messy hair
You beside me, always sulking or pouting
Your dreamy eyes, lost in the sky of love
June arrives... the fading light of the evening sky
The purple sunset swaying with the winds
Only I remain silently in this land of memories
Missing you... longing for the shadow of the past
June arrives... with the drizzle of rain
The lost birds cry with hoarse voices
Remembering you, burning with longing
Hoping for the day we reunite, side by side
June arrives... I miss you, so deeply.


19. Poem: June Brings Back Memories of the Exam Season
June Brings Back Memories of the Exam Season
Author: Ngọc Hà Trần
June arrives, bringing memories of exams,
Eyes darkened from sleepless nights.
The perfect essay, stored away in the drawer,
Soft winds cradle dreams ready to take flight!
June arrives, and the cicadas cry all day,
Despite my attempts, they fall into the yearbook.
The red phoenix petals, lovingly tended by you,
The pair of swallows sing a love song true!
June arrives, with a lonely note falling,
The bicycle basket carries blooming phoenix flowers.
Three months of summer seem endless and deep,
As the rains come, bringing memories of school’s end!
June arrives, lingering in the heart,
Each falling petal feels like a memory's start!
Worrying over the melancholy song of the cicadas,
June arrives... Memories of the exam season...!


20. Poem: June Has Arrived
June Has Arrived
Author: Hạnh Kim
June has arrived, my dear,
The first rains have come, it’s been several days,
Where has the wind gone in this dry, warm sky?
The phoenix flowers have withered, their petals falling away.
June has come, with clouds wandering across,
The sunset slowly tilts, the day winding down,
The night hasn’t passed, but dawn is in haste,
The stream of life rushes on, endlessly drifting.
June has arrived, and the rain keeps pouring,
Amid the scorching sun, there’s a thirst for melancholy,
The cicadas call, beckoning their friends,
The insects hum softly, whispering through the air.
June brings back memories of old times,
We sat beneath the coconut tree,
Creating poems filled with love and longing,
Our hearts tied with deep affection from the past.
The mementos remain! They are still here,
The poems continue to flow, so full and clear,
But those early days can never return,
June is here, my dear, do you realize?
