Credit Due No longer was I able to find the one whom I had corrected her English. It was from a line she wrote, "...A dried leaf falling like a tired butterfly". I want to thank you for inspiring this poem. 枝上葉葉已枯黄 - Leaves on the branches had withered yellow, 落時飃飃似倦蝶 - Falling like tired butterflies. 秋來冬去不停轉 - Ceaselessly autumns came and winters gone, 忽然人生一塲夢. - Suddenly life is but a dream.

No longer was I able to find the one whom I had corrected her English. It was from a line she wrote, "...A dried leaf falling like a tired butterfly". I want to thank you for inspiring this poem.

枝上葉葉已枯黄 - Leaves on the branches had withered yellow,
落時飃飃似倦蝶 - Falling like tired butterflies.
秋來冬去不停轉 - Ceaselessly autumns came and winters gone,
忽然人生一塲夢. - Suddenly life is but a dream.

Also, cant help rewritting your poem again. Hope you wont mind it.

葉葉垂枝似黃金，

飄飄落地如倦蝶。

春來冬去不停轉，

生與病死夢一場。

@Pomme: Thanks for the compliments but I am not a good writer at all. It's just that I have lots more of practise. That's all. There are plenty out there in ITALKI. I am just but a grain of sand on the beach.

Thanks for being a frank friend to you too! :):) I think you are a good writer.

Oh don't worry about it. We all need to be frank here otherwise no one will ever learn anything! I speak directly so that there may be no misunderstandings. However I do believe in lots of :) to convey the mood. I hope you didn't misunderstand my tone to your reply. Just that I hit the wrong key on the keyboard before I can put the smilely out! Hate this lack of ITALKI feature - the ability to re-edit or at least allows a person to delete and write anew. Anyway thanks for being a frank friend :) :) :)

oh I see. I wrote above supposing that you know this idea, and can't happen misunderstanding. I appreciate your pointing out about grammer, I am on the way of studying English :)
