英文詩創作:The Madman

閱讀時間約 1 分鐘
這首詩是我剛學完 '四音步抑揚格' (iambic tetrameter) 後所寫的。'四音步抑揚格' 指的就是一首詩每一行會有四個節奏,每一個節奏會有兩個音節,形成一個先弱後強的節奏感,聽起來就像: duh-DUH, duh-DUH, duh-DUH, duh-DUH.

The Madman

A dreary, weary, stooping figure,
Was lost in mindless, numbing vigor,
And said to thee, “What name is I?
What madness can be expressed in fie?”
“My mind is bland, utterly dull,
My thoughts are bleak and stripped to skull,
What point is there in thinking this?
Why not divulge in thinking bliss?”
“The world is flat, or so I say,
It matters not what others pray,
If I believe the gods are dead,
Then it is said, as you have read.”
“Fact and reason are all trivial,
They are as strong as weakened material,
What truly matters in the world,
Is a madman’s rambling yet unfurled.”

    The Banana Cat Who are though, to wake me in mine slumber, For you shalt see me in mine plunder, Of the unripe bananas that I hold, I shall be bound,
    昨天我毀壞了一整座山,吃的一頓好餐,也偷了一大堆珠寶、金幣、銀幣。我很滿意。我覺得我應該創作一首詩來紀念這麼好的一天。這首詩會被其他喜愛黃金的龍在無聊的時候吟唱著,流傳千古。是的,我覺得這是個好主意。那我就開始寫了:

    你看到標題應該會覺得很奇怪對吧? 英文老師不就是要教英文嗎? 不敢教英文要怎麼當英文老師? 真的有不敢教英文的英文老師嗎? 這是一位我有諮詢過的老師,他本身已經是英文老師了,但是他害怕自己的教學架構不夠完整,所以一直不敢自己招生。 我是一直覺得老師本來就沒有甚麼都會,不管哪個專業的老師。 所謂教學架
