I just found an English version of one of my most favorite poems.It's called a blossoming tree which I read when I was at high school.I liked it very much,I was really moved then.Now I still like it,but I just don't have the same feelings anymore. Here is the English version,I'm not sure it's perfectly translated.So I'd be very appreciated if you could give a better suggestion. How to let you meet me At my most beautiful moment For this I prayed to Budda for 500 years To be bestowed relationship with you on this earth So, Budda makes me a tree, Growing by the road you are bound to take Blooming cautiously and flourishing under the sunlight Each blossom and expectation of my previous life When you approach, please listen The trembling leaves are the passion of my waiting But when at last you walk past unseeing What lies scattered on the ground behind you Oh my friend, is not petals But my withered heart Do you like this poem? Do you have some good poems that you have read to recommend?I always wanted to read some good English poems.Thanks a lot!

Of course it's not me.I can't see my English is that good.I like peoms more than articles.I think they are shortter with more profound meaning compared to long articles. I like reciting poems ,they really can purify your heat .

Yup.. I like poems as compared to short articles too.. Because poems gives a mysterious feeling and they tend to use those profound words and sentences, that sounds so nice.. But deep in the meaning behind those words and meanings, often lies an ugly truth, that's totally different..
