告别夏天

樊功生

热带的小岛

不分夏冬

从没有迎春的喜悦

也没有秋去的悲凉

只是

近日来的风暴

毁了船只

出不去了

也没人来喝椰子茶

说世上那些个趣事

无聊

清早去沙滩上捡块贝壳

傍晚再把它扔回去... 

天上的云

黑沉沉的

一时也飘不走

岸边那棵老树

从来就没有叶子

尖利的枝桠

企图划破那些云层

只担心

缝隙里的天空

是猩红的...

都变异了

尚能日惔荔枝三五颗

不幸运么？

除了笔下没什么好句子

倒也没啥了得的... 

Bye Bye Summer 

By Ken Fan 

On that tropical island, 

The season never changes. 

No joys in spring greeting, 

No sorrows in fall departing. 

Yet the recent storms, 

Has destroyed all our boats, 

Can't leave for anywhere now,

Nor anyone can come to our island, enjoying coconut drinks and chatting about fun things. 

Bored, 

Just pick up a beach shell at sunrise, 

Then cast it back at sunset. 

Those clouds in the sky, 

So dark and gloomy, 

And going nowhere. 

That old tree on the shore, 

Without any leaves, 

But is trying to pierce open the clouds

With its sharp branches. 

Yet the horror is that

The sky in the narrow opening

May look bloody,

All changed...

Aren't you feeling lucky

With a couple of lichees everyday still ? 

While no inspirational verses, 

All other things may just be fine...
