不知怎地，就和文友们聊起现代诗的话题了。说到英文的现代诗，推荐我去Instagram/poets看看。便就去了，看了，也顺手摘录了几首如下。
Your mind is biased
And your brain is blind
There's still a store of strength
Left in you to find
--Cox
You came into my life,
Made a mess,
And left.
...
And they wonder why they name
Hurricanes and storms after people.
--Meteorology
Carry good with you
wherever you go.
-- Harpreet M Dayal
I love bare trees because I see beauty
before it blooms.
--unconditional spring
we are all pieces
of someone else's puzzle.
be kind.
--??
这些小诗或微诗抄自Instagram/poets网站，属现代自由体诗。
有从事现代诗歌创作的朋友说，读了英文的诗，就会发现漫游于中文现代诗中有些浪费时间了。这是从现代诗的创作技巧、构思、语言精确简练、修辞手段的运用及寓意深刻等角度说的。
我说，这要归功于教育。北美从小学开始教授学生创作现代诗，包括各种格式及自我创作格式等。中国写诗（古典或现代诗）的群体有多少从小学就开始接受诗歌创作技巧、规则的培训呢？
