Spring is certainly fresh and youthful. Just thinking about it, all the hardships and difficulties are behind, everything is revived "green and lush". A little bit of the capriciousness of the "fluttering silk branches", or the bustle of "the swallows' love song" is enough to stir the heart of a traveler far from home. There are happinesses as full and beautiful as peach and apricot blossoms just blooming. There are also memories of longing and separation that weave into deep, thoughtful, and stirring memories. The face of spring thus becomes multifaceted, multicolored, and multi-voiced, associated with the souls of poets of all ages in many contexts and moments of the soul.
Artists go on a creative field trip to Quang Xuong district.
Season of love
Let's feel the face of spring in Van Dac's poem "Spring is coming" to see the magical, divine spring:
Hey! Spring!
The sea is blue for a thousand years, I never expected
Just be green, let the waves be children
The sun rose like a ripe fruit.
The association in the poem is strange, very Van Dac but also very real. People in front of love become unexpectedly young, clumsy, innocent and romantic. "The sun like a ripe fruit" is an extremely poetic and suggestive image. No one has ever compared and associated so vividly. Before you and the sea, the author becomes clumsy and trembling but the positioning of the emotions is precise. The ripe fruit like a ripe fruit is also the author's poetic point of view with its own unique mark. The sun is also you, so it also becomes moved. That is the way Van Dac always treats the character you with all the subtlety, subtlety and purity:
My hand was holding onto the branch
How many leaves also become words of love.
(Whispering)
From another perspective, Huy Tru's spring face "entangles" readers in another way, a lovely greedy way of "collecting all" the spring of life, the spring of heart very Thanh Hoa. "My garden" is a testament to poetic emotions on this topic:
Gather all winter days in the flap of the shirt
Let all the pink sunshine down on your heels
Spring gently caresses the wind
The apricot hill is ripe and full.
The verbs and adjectives are decisive, revealing the fierceness and boldness of love before spring. Or does spring make people stronger?
Listen to the poet confide:
I hid in your garden and shook the forbidden fruit
Peach and apricot eyes wide open waiting for New Year's Eve
Tilting the cup, the sky and earth dance
Eyes in eyes, the shuttle flies.
Love and spring still appear in young poets, vibrant and warm. Spring is always an excuse for poetry to reign:
There is a season of love rushing to the left chest
Right here
Green behind the trees...
Right here
The heart demands to miss strangers
Memories sprout in the vast tangled grass...
Without mentioning the word spring, one can still feel spring filling the young chest, without saying anything grand, one can still feel all the youth rushing back, the heart demanding to meet, entangled with love throughout the poetic space. That is the way love is expressed by Viet Hung, a teacher and young poet in the poem "There is a season of love rushing back to the left chest".
Pham Van Dung presents the poem "Wishing for Spring" which is new from the words to the poetic images, also wanting to contribute a spring poem imbued with the fire of love between couples.
“Spring does not call for a canopy of green leaves
Don't call a rose burning a petal...
Spring come into my eyes
The flame of love is flickering
To time
Don't be cold.
Spring is like that. Whether it is me or someone else, as long as there is you and spring, poetry is still filled with human love, love of life. There are thousands of poets in Thanh Hoa, both professional and amateur. Each writer puts on a coat for spring, creating diversity. Poetry is a spring love song for those who have loved, are loving, each person's love song has a different look, carries a different reason, but in the end, all come from a sentimental heart, wanting to dedicate to life, to make this life more beautiful.
Cultural face
In any genre of literature and art, in addition to the personal mark, it also carries the cultural features of the homeland and the nation. Culture in poetry is not a theory but a reality through the author's perception. Most poets when writing spring poems are associated with village festivals, folk performances, folk cuisine, or with cultural figures... Poet Vuong Anh is an example, he is both a poet and a cultural researcher. He deserves to be the author who received the State Prize for Literature and Arts. In the poem "Lullaby", he wrote:
January is forever a lullaby
"Month of fun, month of casting spells on people"
Drizzle urges thousand yearnings
Heavy with metaphor: "sunshine and rain weave a hammock of the sky..."
... January wishes for luck and fortune
Don't let the crop fail and be empty-handed.
Lullaby, restless, gentle
Who dares to exhaust the folk song treasure?...
The last sentence of the poem is not long but is like a gentle challenge and at the same time advises the next generation to preserve the folk culture and keep the lullaby as a support in life.
January is associated with culture, that message appears again, in the poem "Waiting in the highlands" he has a thoughtful conclusion:
Visit the Thai stilt house to sleep.
Drinking rice wine for hundreds of years is still enough
Mong New Year is not enough for a whole month
The Mong flute has not run out even after the mountain has fallen...
The cloud market is also absent-minded.
People on the mountain, pack horses on the cart
Moonlit night, enchanting circle
Hand in hand, afraid to steer the raft drifting.
The cultural story put into poetry makes the face of spring poetry become more profound, profound and national. The poet does not list but points out through observation, understanding, and practical life experience, so poetry penetrates readers more easily than history and research. He chose poetry as a familiar genre to bring readers understanding without dogma. Closing the book, the sound of the panpipe still echoes, the pensive sound of the hoop dance still lingers, the sleepless nights still visit the folk song treasure...
Let's add another experience of "Highland Tet Market" with female poet Le Huyen, to blend in with the culture of the highland people of Thai, Muong, Dao...:
I wear embroidered skirt and pineapple shirt
A day at the market
Oh, yellow, green, white, red
Colorful floral fabric.
Another indispensable feature of spring in the highlands is drinking rice wine and dancing around the fire:
The other side of the Thuong village man
Warm lips with a jar of rice wine
This side of the good girl Ha village
Drunk on the sound of the leaf flute.
And if we go from the mountains to the lowlands, in Mai Thi Hanh Le's poetry page, just one song of the Ma River evokes so many things about a cultural land:
My city is restless waiting for dawn
Many turns in the heart still have dreams
The heart lingers under the familiar tree
Listening to the folk songs on the Ma River, watching the moon.
Young poet Mai Thi Hanh Le, facing the changing times, welcoming the dawn of Thanh Hoa City today, still looks to the traditional value of "Listening to the Song Ma Ho". That is the value of poetry, connecting the past and present with honest and moving verses. The verses written on the threshold of the new year are truly meaningful!
And there are many more poems, too many to mention, inspired by spring. Let me borrow a stanza from the poem “Lotus Dance in the Border Forest” by poet Nguyen Minh Khiem to conclude this short article:
Millions of hearts join forces to offer to Him
Fierce spring becomes victorious spring
Each lotus petal shimmers with thousands of rays of sunlight
This country is fragrant forever.
Remembering and showing gratitude to Him is a sentiment we often encounter in poetry, which is also the consistent theme of poetry in general, and Thanh Hoa poetry in particular. Every time Tet comes, spring comes, the image of Uncle Ho returns, embodying the light of the Party to guide the way, symbolizing the strength of the nation "each lotus petal shimmering with thousands of rays of sunlight". The poem has the image of a lotus petal that both praises Him as a lotus flower "fragrant forever", and also respectfully offers Him a pure and noble flower.
At this time, when spring is coming, mentioning his name in Thanh Hoa poetry, suddenly I feel my spring face is fuller.
