We have decided to add something new to the magazine: a monthly spotlight poem/poet! By featuring the works of poets around the world, we are aiming to showcase different cultures and societal views, as well as writing styles. If you think of a poem/poet that you’d like us to feature, please email us at belmontkidsmagazine@gmail.com. (If the poem is in a different language, it would be best if you could provide an accompanying translation.) We hope that you are inspired to write more poetry!

 

 

ORIGINAL:

星星跑步

不小心撞倒了月亮

月亮掉下来

刚好落在我手上

亮亮的

从此我手上

有了月光

 

 

 

TRANSLATION:

Li Yujiao, 10 years old, Instructor: Li Ting

 

Stars run

But they knock the moon down

The moon falls

Right into my palms

Shining brightly

From now on, my hands

Glow with moonlight
