Poet Doan Van Mat once felt: “Le Thi May’s poetry is a permanent state of mind, uttered from the bottom of the heart, bursting out in sentences, resonating in words; hidden deep within is always the source of the feelings of a poet with a heavy heart for life”. The following collection of her poems is in the 4-line six-eight verse form.

New urban area

Electricians and plumbers

Zalo calls softly when needed, available immediately

Conveniently arranged utilities

New urban areas are getting "newer" every day...

Family

Family harmony and steadfastness

A boy and a girl were playing around happily.

Playground in the morning sun and wind

The garden of flowers and ornamental plants has fragrant buds from afar.

Row of trees

The window blinks in the south wind

Lightning showers cut off the source of alluvium

Rows of trees on the street are luxurious

Indian laurel, sour plum... fragrant all year round

Afternoon rain

Fish and shrimp, one capital, four profits

" The flea market" spoke up quickly to invite people to buy quickly.

Old mother sitting quietly in the afternoon

The market closed after the afternoon rain...

homesick

Fun park with trees

Rainbow rain forecast gymnasium

The old man remembers the sound of the temple bell

The wind blows from the countryside...

Durian

Durian is a fragrant durian fruit.

The outer shell is thorny and the inside is fragrant.

Cherish the love between husband and wife

Fragrant Southern Nine Dragon durian...

Missing the forest

Rhyme and strange emotions

Soaked in this salty tide

Long road of words have legs

Footprints and stick marks of youth remembering the forest

Empty street

Holidays are deserted

The wives and children have all gone home.

Green light red light stop playing

Three-way intersection, seven-way intersection, drifting clouds, sad eyes

Remote areas

Teachers in remote areas

Crossing forests and streams without complaint

Students go to class to review for exams

The bag is heavy and the stomach is hungry.
