         The Poem in this article is a Love Poem.

         She is one rare,no one like her
          She is more beautiful than all others
          She is like a star rising
           On a new year
            Dazzlingly bright,white skin
             With beautiful eyes for seeing
              And sweet lips for speaking
               She does not speak to much
                With long neck,and firm breasts
                 And hair as rich as fine gem
               Her fingers as lotus blossoms
             With full buttocks and slim waist
            Her thighs enhance her beauty
          with a brisk she walks along
         She has captured my heart,with her touch
        She makes all men turn their heads
       to gaze at her
     One looks at her when passing by
    This one,my only one
