A grape enters poems

One grape impose of the courtyard, scenery let, cut out four o'clock.

There are no seeds, has not transplanted, in that very hard soil in front of the door, a longer immature grape seedling unexpectedly. Have not I taken notice of it at the beginning, one? Annual time it by spring, pass summer, pass autumn, pass winter, resist severe cold, able to bear the universe drought, spontaneous since long, have competed and managed to sell into an amazing grape tree.

In early spring, thin and thin rattan, winding dragonfly's dragonfly, shows light light green purpose in the color since winter, permeated with the vigor in spring. Though nobody takes good care of, it pursues the brilliance in spring, the richness in a awake autumn too.

I think, it is abandons or is blown by the wind by the random one, just meet with misfortune into such a bad environment, grow out from the greedy and lean soil alone, and survive doggedly unyieldingly. I love arise the grape, give, water some water early morning, give, construct some fat evening, put up for it and put on the shelf. It is very in the know, look more energetic. Several month, blue and green piece vertically and horizontally, the east tear the west stretch, collude repeatedly, jade green canopy, more flourishing and more verdant. On hot day, the grape trellis exactly fluffies the big umbrella open, under the burning sun, it was very shady and cool that it hid, come off duty back, the ones that look at all over shelf are jade green, grow out some slight chill in the air in the heart; Sit under grape trellis standing at ease, feel heart clear body comfortable, there are not tired purpose at once. Under the grape trellis, people enjoy the coal, chat, play chess, has added infinite fun for life. Meanwhile, grape trellis cause reverie for childhood of me still, listen to grandmother, under grape trellis will it be will it be night 25 day the first month of the lunar year, can hear the mouse blow and beat and get married; The seventh of July [seventh evening of the seventh moon in lunarcalendar ] can hear the Herd-boy and whisper when the Weaving-girl meet

With the day of the grape together from morning to night, have deeper understanding to it, realize its personality. Although it wears the deformity, grows uglily, it looks kind and approachable, only asks a wisp of sunshine, a little rainwater, can live very well, show the immortal vigor born the life. In summer, although meet with the attack of the thunder, it is not tender and lovely, even if tear the front pieces of Chinese jacket, do not wither either, seem fresher and jade green even more, under the sunshine, glisten greenly and lushly, reveal green it is a primary color of the life.

Winter will come, everything is desolate, but although grape trellis does not have green leaves, big twigs, have muscle have bone, interlock, twine, its shape tendency its, strive like dragon dragon rise, fearless to fear. By the time when the snow presses the end of the branch, it is a poem, and a picture, is a kind of scenery. . . . . .

Through the tribulation of the world of ice and snow, in spring that have come, it rose from new and green again, to wear is more luxuriantly than former years, more stalwart.

Having produced the emotion to it slowly and slowly, while going to work, after coming off duty, I will see it; Meet the setback, hurt and wronged and vexed thing in life, should see it even more, green purpose of a quiet and gentle silk is fitted to pour into one in the heart, courage to encourage my life.

Long a few years of this grape, only long branch and leaf, has never formed grapes.

The friend says: " As a man sows, so he shall reap. Grape result son that you plant, it has to be very meaning? "

" Cultivate one's taste. " In my consciousness depths, it is a green rattan, it is one that rolls the flourishing and high-sprited life, have never required it to form grapes. In this way, not the bitter brain because of gain and loss.

Non- widowed to want not to have far. I will chew in life, reap in life under the grape trellis

Remember Great Philly Ping Pong Players from Past?

I love watching table tennis (ping-pong). I grew up in Bridesburg in the 80's. Everyday after school I always met my freinds at the brideburg boys & Girls club. The club had like 5 ping pong tables. Does anyone remember playing with the great players in the neighborhood? Probably in Philly. I remember the Murphy twins,Gary & Glen,they were both great players. Carl Mills was another great player at the time. The best match I ever watched at the club was against Carl & one of the Murphy twins. I think Carl Won, but it was a great game. Does anyone remember other great players from the club? Does anyone know where or what the Murphy Twins or Carl Mills are now? If antone has any stories about growing up in Bridesburg, I would love to hear them.
