Два белых, один сонет. Это вроде_как_мои_любимые.
1. Silver sounds spakling around,
Cutting the silence in slices.
Whistling laughter,
Bright little eyes.
The rustling of tiny wings
Fills the trees.
The moon is admiring herself
In the glass-like surface of the lake.
Once a year,
Since long before the birth that has changed the humanity,
Thesе drops of moonlight
Come together
To celebrate their night.
They recall the times,
When they ruled the world of souls,
And they weep with grief,
Helpless and weak.
But the music of starry night
Overtakes their sorrow,
And they dance in the air,
Till the dawn
Hits the shore.
2. *dagger = кинжал
Who made you, dagger,
Dozens of decades ago?
Whose hands worked that
Silver pattern on your edge?
Do you remember your master,
Dagger,
Who is long-dead and denied by descendents,
Destroyed by the darkness of deeds?
What is the taste like,
Dagger,
Of the rival's warm blood?
Do you dream
Of the freedom,
Of breaking the glass of your jail,
Where you've dwelt for decades?
Do you dare
Bid defiance to your doom?
Streams of scarlet blood
Once ran down your blade,
No it's covered with dust.
Dangerous, handsome, living dagger,
My peaceful flute
Sings
To your glorified past.
3. AT A CROSSROADS OF FATE, OR CHOOSING THE MAJOR (пятистопный ямб)
Indifferent lines of bitter-looking words,
These gangs of H's and Li's will melt my brain.
I am the hopeless kind of teenage nerds;
Before I learn it, I will go insane.
But that's my choice; though chemistry is tough,
It is the key to my career door.
And pharmacy is interesting... enough.
I'll take it easy. I will study more.
I'm not in science, chemistry at least.
I breath with words, obsessed with thеir might.
But pharmacy will help me to exist.
I've made a choice. And hopefully it's right.
My consolation: many people won't
Get major in a job they really want.
Забавно, что настроение последнего стиха оба партнера пометили как "оптимистичное". О да, куда уж оптимистичнее.
И да: для написания я пользовалась словарем. Тот же кинжал, как будет, не знала...
Спасибо за прочтение и комменты!
