Silence is sometimes the best answer
The challenge to contemplate and wait
The whistness of mangrove and samphire
Cicumstances dictate to wait at eight
Like women with the waist of hourglass
The challenge to contemplate and wait
Sometimes in silence we let the time pass
Blocking the noise of everyday humdrum
Like women with the waist of hourglass
Lucky to have nature where we come from
For tomorrow is bright and full of hope
Blocking the noise of everyday humdrum
Once we listen to silence it has a lot of scope
We can achieve many things in detail
For tomorrow is bright and full of hope
Fresh snow and sea breeze we inhale
Silence is sometimes the best answer
We can achieve many things in detail
The whistness of mangrove and samphire*

Our winter is back
On Chinese New Year, too
Fun with Jill and Jack
Better drink coffee brew
On Chinese New Year, too
With tikoy and tea
Snow filled leaves the yew
We are full of glee
Fun with Jill and Jack
Snow balls fight with them
Then they want their snack
And then play with their drum
Better drink coffee brew
Stay home being warm
Cosy, to name a few
Hope there’s no storm*

That looks like a very complicated form! I like how you use “wait” and “waist” and the time of “eight” and the “hourglass.” Along with waiting patiently, and silently. Snow makes every sound so muffled.
