This poetry class is my first class in United States, so I am still unfamiliar with the US education system. I am an introvert very shy about talking with other people. However, in this class, I received a lot of positive energy from my classmates and instructor. As a newcomer, I have many changes to adjust to, such as the weather, food, culture and language. Despites these challenges, I experienced equality and positive vibes in this class. I am so glad to have met everyone and hope we will see each other again

If You Die

Alas, Human world, human life

Must become old, Painful-then die

This is truth.

-

But if you die

Your place of birth, your land

Should develop and remain

Your Nationality and language should also

Progress, be highttened and remain.

-

The pleasant pagoda you worshipped

And shared your merits

May the radiant truth and remarkable

knowledge

Remain bright an bright.

I’ve eaten the salmon This salmon wanted to return to its origin. Now it’s in my plate, Deformed and in pieces. I want to return too. Is it fair to savor you With a homesick heart? The mad thought Of being kindred spirits Makes me tremble. Though you don’t have to struggle anymore, I’m still wrestling with life. You’ve found peace. I’m still here, not quite dead nor alive Envious salmon, I’ve consumed you.

Upon meeting you Gazing at your round face A glance, a glimpse Even if you're not here, deeply in my heart No matter how far apart we are If I look up, you're there in the sky So I know my love sees you translated khin maung toe poem
