别总以为只有用文字为表现工具的，才是诗人。不是的，还有许多诗人的，而且可能到处都有诗人，都可能把诗表现得很好。

到处都有诗人。不管写的是什么，怎么写，只要是诗，有诗意，能使人感动，引起读者的共鸣，都是好的诗，其创作者都是诗人。

音乐家是用声音为表现工具的诗人。画家是用色彩、线条和图案为表现工具的诗人。舞蹈家是用舞姿为表现工具的诗人。农夫是用犁锄为表现工具的诗人。渔夫是用渔船和渔网等渔具为表现工具的诗人。工人是用铁锤和锯子等为表现工具的诗人。……

当然，这宇宙间还有许多许多诗人在写诗，譬如男人、女人、老人、青年、小孩等，譬如商人、教师、学生、军人、建筑师、裁缝师、铁匠、船员、司机、行旅等等；写出来的诗则可能是动物、植物、一件事、一个活动、一颗果实、一座山、一条溪流、一面湖、一汪洋……。

到处都有诗人，不管写的是什么，怎么写，只要是诗，有诗意，能使人感动，引起读者的共鸣，都是好的诗。

所以，别总以为只有用文字为表现工具的，才是诗人。不是的，还有许多诗人的，而且可能到处都有诗人，都可能把诗表现得很好。

There are poets everywhere  Hsu ChiCheng

Never always presume that only write with instrument of character be the poet. No, there are many poets still, and also there may be poets everywhere, they may express poem great well.

There are poets everywhere. No matter what they write, how to write, just it’s poem, possess poetic, make touch to others, cause resonance to reader, are all good poems, the writers all are poets.

Musician is the poet who writes with sound for instrument. Painter is the poet who writes with colour, line and pattern for instrument. Dancer is the poet who writes with posture. Farmer is the poet who writes with plough and hoe for instrument. Fisherman is the poet who writes with fishing tackle as fishing vessel and fishnet etc. for instrument. Labourer is the poet who writes with hammer and saw for instrument…

Of course, there are many poets write poem in cosmos, just as male, female, old age, young man, child etc., just as merchant, teacher, student, soldier, architect, tailor, blacksmith, sailor, driver, traveler etc., the poems written may be the animal, plant, a thing, an exercise, a fruit, a mountain, a river, a lake, a vast sea…

There are poets everywhere, no matter what they write, how to write, only it’s poem, possess poetic, make touch to others, cause resonance to reader, are all good poems.

So, never always presume that only write with instrument of character be the poet. No, there are many poets still, and also there may be poets everywhere, they may express poem great well. @
