Why poetry? Poetry has always been the least close to the people; it seems to do nothing but it does something. Refining the words and hiding what you want to say is hidden in the poem; then, the reader can imagine and speculate and then imagine. Whether the feeling lingering in the heart is given by the author or generated by the reader is no longer the key word. "Fish are meant to swim", which may seem like "my grandma is a woman", but when "original", "is" and "want" are put together, we can ask: "Fish just want to swim", is the "original" missing? "Fish, originally want to swim", maybe the "is" is missing; "Fish are meant to swim." Without the word "to", we need to add the word "的" to make it grammatical. Questions never have answers, especially when you read a poem and keep it in your mind for a long time for no reason. The delicacy of the text shows its power. The freedom of poetry allows for the closest communication even though it seems far away. Here today, maybe it’s time to read some new poetry and let everything settle. As Lin Xi said in the preface of this book: //Birds can fly Just want to fly But the ostrich is not embarrassed or ashamed live this life yearning to fly It has always been a human habit It should only be people There will be ideas that transcend habits// //Fish just want to swim Birds just want to fly People just want walk with feet And walking and walking Just describe the impossible dream// //The realization of such a dream without having to face reality People dare to swim Just fish People want to fly Just a bird// Don't ask "Why are you living?" Don't think too much, just like animals acting on their instincts, Just like fish swimming and birds flying, living is like this. Lin Xi's new series "Lin Xi My Poems" contains 100 poems. ＊Some of the poems and essays in this book are selected from "Can I Be Broken?", "Summer Flowers and Autumn Leaves Are Just Right", and "Is It the End of You Today?" 【About the Author】 Lin Xi Graduated from the Faculty of Arts of the University of Hong Kong, majoring in translation.
