Abstract
Daydreamer is a collection of five poems that blend into a colorful collage. “A peaceful ancient town” depicts a typical day in Hoi An while “Summer noon melody,” written in traditional Vietnamese verse form lục bát (six-eight), describes a peaceful Vietnamese countryside village during harvest days. The tone immerses into the darkness of isolation in “Midnight piece” and then becomes calmer, allowing nature to shine in “The squirrel and the pond” which consists of haiku poems about the cycle of seasons and life, a classic theme in Japanese poetry. Finally, the collection concludes with “In the middle of the clear wide sky” which highlights a farewell moment during a vibrant show. While exploring new literary concepts, poetic techniques, and cultures, Daydreamer also focuses on visualizing vivid stories, guiding readers through a journey of emotions, and encouraging them to enjoy and be mindful of many little moments in life.
