好所在



戴佇岩石谷 (San Gabriel Canyon Valley)
San Gabriel River 个水源頭
Azusa Mountain Cove 係好所在


盡像老屋下
有山有水大自然
還有當多好朋友

鳥語撈花香
鹿群漫步草叢堆
入夜不時熊來僚

近鄰交相往
大小和諧有關照
親切像恩大夥房

戰火邊緣

發行三倍券
台灣正逐漸改變
跨文化思維實踐


戰火佇邊緣
科技軍事金融缐
處處埋伏引爆點

防疫新思維
生活形態要改變
新經濟正要出現

隻身一杯茶
萬紫千紅當繁華
世界盡頭乜一儕

社區肚行路
喜失蹤鹿群轉來
河床鴨仔戲相陪

美國防疫工作差

Wonder if everyone knew what COVID-19 stands for. 
WHO officially named the Coronavirus Disease 2019 as COVID-19 on April 1st, 2020.

COVID-19後
日常生活全改變
出門人人要按嘴(要求按嘴仔)

處理COVID-19
先進國家亂糟糟
美國政府算最差(川普、州長和毋來)

慶祝獨立日(7/4/20)
政府開放海沙灘
病毒趁機再擴散

人民暢自由
病毒跈等後生(派對,Party)
疫情不減反增加

真經得人驚
確診病人四百萬
往生近百五十萬

依照目前看
武漢肺炎繼續燒
可能燒到明年底

為研發役苗(Vaccine)
病理學家搶生理
看到錢銀目金金

天祐 美國!
天祐 醫護人員!

防疫有感

防疫時間多
平時想做沒介閒
打幫這時加減作

居家時間長
左鄰右舍見面多
相互照應感情好

生意變化大
落水尋傘會致命
等死不如生機

2020年
恁多長輩作仙去
加緊腳步要增志

羅大哥願望

一件事冇變
日出日落又一朝
花開花落冇聲息。

生死不由汝
有生有死永輪迴
生生不息一世人。

羅大哥願望
客家三行有傳人
大哥心願大家承。

燦爛太陽花(向日葵)

Just share a few photos of blooming sunflowers taken in a huge field off River Road in Potomac, Maryland, under the Department of Maryland Natural Resources. It attracts many sunflower lovers/worshipers daily in July and August every year. They come with cameras and binoculars for flowers as well as for goldfinch and indigo bunting.

大華府郊外
馬州自然局管理
一大遍向日葵花(=太陽花)

今年太陽花
比起往年較細蕊(讀 Lui)
不過共樣恁燦爛

想起六年前(2014)
318 太陽花學運
反服貿佔立法院

借這太陽花
感恩那群後生條(那群=該兜?)
喚醒大群臺灣人(從此有臺灣意識)

My very best,

Big Ben

靈前行禮祭拜三行詩之父

Dear friends,

Allow me to try to write my latest Hakka 3 line poems, perhaps this is the best way to pay the last tribute to our dear brother Lou.  We have attended the funeral service this morning at his home ground.  

 我、內人及 劉慧真小姐代表「客家三行詩」組,一起走至靈前行禮祭拜。


三行詩之父
帶領後輩來學寫
浪漫情懷寫入詩

硬頸客家人
愁慮客話會冇忒
鼓勵後生來講客

一代个茶人
紅茶蒸菁先行者
台灣茶業界國寶


General MacArthur once said in 1951 :  “ old soldiers never die, they just fade away ! “ 

Dear brother Lou once wrote a small note in English on a piece of paper : “ Old friends never go away ! “  I learned from this morning video shown on his home memorial video during the service.

感念羅先生

感念羅先生
故鄉搭來綠茶粉
解除罹癌記憶深

想起羅先生
網路交往十幾年
見面兩擺話冇完

故鄉羅先生
客家文化保存人
創立簡易三行詩

關西羅先生
客話辭典來相贈
書寫翻查愧對人

紀念羅先生
真心熱誠永難忘
天人乖隔淚欄干

紅茶文化館
紀念故鄉發展史
體驗前人點點滴

Lotus and Lilies at National Aquatic Gardens

May Big Ben share a few photos of Lotus and Lilies taken at Kenilworth National Aquatic Garden yesterday with you? 

華府水花園(National Aquatic Garden)
蓮花、荷花日頭下
相搶風頭大展放

蓮花有紅白(Lotus)
白色蓮花係American Lotus
紅色蓮花係Sacred Lotus

荷花色彩多
紅、白、黃、紫、藍、粉紅
浮在水面蕊蕊靚

借這蓮荷花
希望客家心連心
期盼合作手牽手

天祐 臺灣客家!

追念 慶士兄

羅慶士前輩
享年八十八高齡
係客家人介典範

大約七年前
曾到關西拜訪他
慶士兄非等閒輩

文藝復興人
精通中日英語文
客家三行詩導師

日據時代間
關西羅家介紅茶
銷售世界各角落

慶士前輩時
引進日本新技術
升級製茶加工廠

幾年介經營
推出綠茶新產品
綠茶葉粉享東羸

熱心客家人
把茶廠當招待所
辦各種文藝活動

慶士兄走了
在我們每人心中
永成美好的回憶

後輩
葉政助
追念於支加哥

Rest In Peace, please, 羅先生!

I know you’re listening up there.
This is Big Ben complaining that you left us behind.
How are we going to deal with Taiwan Hakka problems from now on?


短短十年來
嗯哩雲端打嘴鼓
分享談論天下事

有爾實在好
創發「客家三行詩」
起蒙搶救客家話
(母語、文化)

I’m aware you’re watching up there.
To see whether we’re missing you at all.
At least Big Ben is missing you a lot while sobbing.

學生懷念爾
先生送「客語辭庫」
深深感受家鄉情

逐擺轉臺灣
相見對談幾歡樂
母知下擺奈位尋


Send me a SMS, will you, Sir?
Where we can meet and talk?
Share your wisdom with Taiwanese President TIW.

You know what. Big Ben missed you already. He’ll miss you day and night. He’ll miss you dearly in the rest of his life. Oh, yes. Don’t worry about H3LP.
Thomas, Grace and Big Ben will carry on with your blessings in the HEAVEN.

Rest In Peace, please, 羅先生!
