寒冬縂會過

客家根佇奈

貴洋哥洋洋灑灑

分析到清清楚楚


世事作弄人

大家都想要成功

奈何縂佇困窮時


相信三行詩

怨歎暫且放一邊

盡情抒寫留記錄


寒冬縂會過

時間到百花盛開

留兜範本好參詳

客家根佇奈

老弟嘴有甜
甜到毋輸細阿姐
阿哥聽到盡見笑

阿哥老吂老
頭腦還算當清楚
應該毋會亂誤解

客家个問題
不在新筍生毋生(毋會生、生多少?)
係在後生毋知根(毋尋根、尋錯根!)

客家根佇奈
根本就是阿姆話(客家話)
根本就在老家鄉(老人家)

吳濁流故居
看到老筍个根本(老頭擺文化)
幾多新筍去尋根(後生有興趣)

鍾老紀念館
展出老筍个智慧(「沒有客家話,就沒有客家人。」)
奈有新筍會了解

羅董三行詩
顯露老筍个創意(用簡易客家字、彙)
可惜新筍吂欣賞(記錄客家人、事、物)

三行寫頭擺
老筍寫兜故事看
分享經驗分後生

三行寫客庄
連串臺灣三六九(臺三線、六堆、花東臺九線)
文化永續會長久

華府看臺灣
新筍生長欠根本
老筍分人嫌臭頭

搶救客家人
加強教育後生條
「根本」在自己身邊
「根本」就係客家話
「根本」就在客家庄

天祐 臺灣客家!

根本留得新荀生

阿哥莫誤解
愁煩放佇心頭頂
煞猛緊寫三行詩

客家先行者
濁流肇政慶士仙
立言影響冇增差

三行寫時事
記錄當前个事故
反映恩兜个想法

三行寫心情
抒解日常生活事
風花雪月人情中

貴洋有快筆
天生文才必有用
啓蒙接𡩋有英雄

大箍龍樂缐
盡心竭力作到好
成事在天毋強求

慶士哥鼓勵
煞猛堅持毋放棄
根本留得新荀生

台灣个局勢
冇人想到會這樣
盡心竭力尋契機

煩該又愁哩

防疫賺打球
身體練到較健康
使係感覺毋歡樂

煩該又愁哩
為「客家存亡」煩惱
為「川普連任」愁勞

講到恁簡單
船到橋頭自然直 (船頂看冇輪機室 船長離開渡長假)
車到山頭就有路 (車頂油箱春一半 車長患有焦慮症(懼高症))

臺灣客家人
坐船坐車冇相讓
頭破血流冇較爭

防疫意外

防疫減旅行
賺到看電視球賽
職籃職棒連續打

湖人撩道奇
雙雙封王戴冠
2020洛杉磯大嬴

接甯看美足
踢走个武漢肺炎
大家安心過日子

船到橋頭自然直

常念慶士哥
播種催生三行詩
有遠見留下歷史

貴洋張大哥
心放寬莫愁忒多
船到橋頭自然直

方法不是冇
想係个時間吂到
恩自家煞猛來作

你(妳)係厓兄姐

Dear 阿龍哥 and 阿英
Let’s try something new to get our spirit up a notch to poke one another in writing H3LPs. Here is a song, 「你是我的兄弟」,in Taiwanese(河洛)for your reference.


I love it. It inspires me to say something in the way of H3LP that 羅先生 told and taught me so. That is, just write what is in your mind and what you want say. You two agree with me, I hope!

(妳)係厓兄姐
互相扶持行下去
復振客話拼到死

搶救客家話(人、庄)
推廣客家三行詩
世世代代傳下去

To take advantage of you, my brother and sister, I call you two, 「阿龍哥」and 「阿英姐」. By doing so, I will feel forever young. Hahaha...

Take care of yourself and your loved ones, please!

客家話存亡

Dear Thomas and Grace,

昨暗哺發夢
見到關西羅先生
談到欲罷而不能

臺灣客家人
唐山來臺四百年
傳承文化幾世代

一代傳一代
殺豬文化傳下來(到今)
義民祭典少聽客

臺灣客家人
隨著潮流求生存
慢慢忘掉祖宗言(阿姆話)

到底哪所爭
專家爭吵二十年
客人講客年年減

西元二千年
客家委員會成立
兩黨政策有爭差

二十年下來
保留古蹟有做到(百姓祠堂有整修)
拯救母語冇做好(客庄人口向外流)

承蒙蔡總統
「客家政策」有方向
客語係「國家語言」

期待蔡總統
行遍臺灣三六九(臺三線、六堆、花東九線)
客家母語正有救

真經係有心
下鄉親民講客話
客人自冉會覺醒

真經係有意
撥出經費「教」客話
輔導後生「學」客話

全國客家庄
遍地開花去開班
在地行動救母語

真經得人驚
臺灣一日冇客話
該日臺灣冇客人
(註:記得鍾老遺言,「沒有客家話,就沒有客家人。」)

天祐 臺灣客家!

歡樂萬聖節

歡樂萬聖節
節慶本來民間作
家家參與比創意

今年要防疫
毋得沿街去討糖
坐佇車肚看風景

社區辦比賽
大家都係評審官
票選創意優勝者

萬聖節文創
女巫帽子變花樣
客家花布帶流行

華府秋意濃

Dear Thomas,

Just share few photos to show you Washington, DC area’s Fall colors in its peak. They are taken at Lake Needwood, Rock Creek Regional Park, Maryland where Taiwanese Presbyterian Church is less than a mile away.

華府秋意濃
樹林一片金黃色
湖水出色展風情(風情萬種湖水中)

堵到Yogi Bear
坐佇湖唇看風景
勸話救客愛趕緊(救客=搶救臺灣客家話)

華府政治圈
參院兩黨吵翻天
審查新科大法官(Amy Coney Barrett)

美國選總統
搣到全國濃糕糕
負面新聞網路傳

You asked me if Trump can KD...Well, Big Ben does not have a clue. 一個月前,拜登躺著選也贏;一禮拜前,川普打贏COVID出院,看起來,還係有一息機會( 10% or more)。最近,Hunter Biden 醜聞越鬧越大,拜登陣營頭那痛;應該影響選民投票意願;所以,拜登選贏个百分率又減10%。下禮拜一,假使參議院投票通過 Ms Barrett 接任大法官,川普連任可能性,會增加20%。Therefore, Biden 60 % vs Trump 40% before November 3rd, 2020. Trump can only win with several ifs: if he can mobilize more whites to vote in those battleground States, if DOJ starts to investigate Biden’s dirty things next week, if Biden also tests positive for COVID-19 before the election. To be very honest with you, BB doesn’t like either one. First of all, they both are too old to be in the White House. Secondly, Trump is too sarcastic and tweeted while Biden is too sleepy and sleek. Biden was too close to China while Trump is friendly to Taiwan. With this thought in mind, we should know which side to lean on.

天祐 臺灣!

防疫个生活
步調變慢轉簡單
工作減少尋事做

海唇吹風看船鳥

丹爐火毋猛

Hi, Thomas,

I bet that you are too busy on your JT&Tea business to be interested in read BB’s email sent this morning. That’s okay. I know, at least, I have tried, but hard enough, not to disappoint our H3LP grand master in the heaven. Do you hear he’s been murmuring these words day and night in the clouds?

搶救客家話
用忒十年求仙丹
發現丹爐火毋猛(客家人冇膽、毋敢)

實在冇彩工
猴王上天猴孫散
再過十年客家亡

He sighs...! Did you hear what I hear?

Best Regards,

Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia Fall colors

 Hi Friends,

It has been a long while since Big Ben tried to inspire or beg you to write a set or two of H3LPs and hoped that our late 羅先生‘s dream in saving Hakka mother tongue would not be in vain. Well, BB felt quite disappointed to see no
responses and went out to Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia to relax and soothe
his soul. In the meantime, he took few photos and wrote down some thought
to share with you.

搶救客家話
臺灣客家愛覺醒
共下鎖定客家情

搶救客家話
後生客家愛認真(學、教講客話)
共下鎖定一生情(奉獻一生人)

Harper’s Ferry is on the Potomac River near three States (Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia) and on Appalachian Trail, located almost half way between Maine and Georgia (see the wooden sign on one of photos). It is the most popular spot for the tourists year around. Notice that there are many locks hanging on the bride which are meant to lock the loved lives of young and old visited HF together. BB pray and sincerely hope that we, Taiwan Hakka, can lock together, hand in hand and heart to heart, to save our mother tongue from disappearing in Taiwan Hakka towns and villages.

天祐 臺灣客家!

當鄰長71年 百歲人瑞每天打掃環境不間斷

分享一條臺灣地方新聞,看得出國民黨介厲害,「樁腳」深插客家庄。


臺灣客家庄
國民黨根深蒂固
歸功「民眾服務站」

七十年以來
苗栗新竹滿遍藍
浸蝕鄉鎮里鄰肚

後年又選舉(2022)
選都、縣、市、鄉鎮長
「中生代」會出風頭

希望蔡主席
認真耕耘客家庄
打出竹苗一片綠(註:認真=真心真意、不忽視、不假裝、不放棄)

天祐 臺灣客家庄!

2020 諾貝爾文學獎得主揭曉! 美國女詩人葛綠珂獲獎

Hi, Thomas, Grace and Allen,

It’s very exciting to see a poetess(女詩人), Ms Louise Gluck won 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature. Hope this will give you some inspiration to write more H3LPs from now on.


恭喜葛綠珂
以「清確詩詞語法」(=clear, precise poetic words and phrases?)
得諾貝爾文學獎

五十零年來
以「普實無華之美」(=austere beauty?)
用詩詞描寫人生(生老病死、酸甜苦辣、痛苦與絕望)

想起羅先生
一定欣賞葛綠珂
讀過「野鸢尾」詩集
(Note:”Wild Iris”, only one of her 12 collection of poem, is translated into Chinese. It’s available in Taiwan bookstore.)

希望有機會
整理H3LP部落格
出版羅慶士詩集

今日雙十節
客人愛雙倍加油
搶救臺灣客家話

天祐 臺灣客家人!

十一月美國大選

華府看天下
武漢疫情燒全球
最近燒到白宮內

川普得病毒
送入醫院戴四日(at Walter Reed Hospital, Bethesda, Maryland)
國家突然現危機

華府一片亂
記者守在醫院前
面對川普支持者

依照目前看
川普連任無希望
拜登輕鬆打選戰

選前一個月
白人再次總動員
川普還有息機會

記得四年前
民調全偏柯林頓(Hilary Clinton)
結果川普贏大選

華府看大選
川普贏三搖擺州(Battleground States: PA, WI, MI, OH, IA)
就還有機會連任

In these five States, its electoral votes are 20, 10, 16, 18, 6, respectively. To me, the winner of this election is not yet final until that Fat Lady sings.

華府秋意正開始

 Dear Friends,


Just share few photos showing you the Autumn is here in DC area and a great blue heron enjoys his sunshine high on the tree top.

華府八月半
湖水印出秋意來
蒼鷺樹頂曬太陽

陽光好東西
生命三要素之一(空氣、水、陽光)
皮膚需要太陽能

華府好天氣
湖邊步道人尖人
逐儕面上帶嘴按(口罩)

天氣漸漸涼
大家記得加領衫
保重身體抗病毒(COVID-19)

Wherever you are, please remember to continually do three things: wear your mask, wash your hands and keep social distancing(6 feet apart) during this pandemic. Let’s pray and hope that this virus will be gone by next Spring and the vaccine will also available soon.
