诗挑战 POETRY CHALLENGE

[非马]

美国诗友维尔妲·莫雷思(Wilda Morris)是前任伊利诺州诗人协会会长,在芝加哥的诗坛上相当活跃。最近她开辟了一个叫《诗挑战》的英文网页http://wildamorris.blogspot.com/

每月初由她出题邀读者竞写,在月半前收齐后,由她及她邀请的诗人从中挑选出一两首优异的作品张贴,供人欣赏。十一月的诗题是“时装附件”（帽子、手提包、领带、皮带、皮鞋、围巾、首饰等等）,用了我的Necktie(领带)作为引诗:



NECKTIE



Before the mirror

he carefully makes himself

a tight knot



to let the hairy hand

of civilization

drag him

on



下面是这首诗的中文版:



<领带>



在镜前

精心为自己

打一个

牢牢的圈套



乖乖

让文明多毛的手

牵著脖子走

This is very characteristic of you, Mr Fei Ma, that you write abut something ordinary into something extraordinary. I would suggest you submit some of your poems to American Life in Poetry, a project by Ted Kooser.

Best,

Lake

IMPRESSIVE!! THANKS FOR SHARING.

最近一年写了许多三行微型诗，想学先生的“构思奇特、立意深远、写小成大、语凡味浓”等优点，当然不是盲目模仿，而是自出新裁。我挂两首求教。
