His poems:
DIEN BIEN
(Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Điện Biên Victory: May 7, 1954 – May 7, 2024)
Hot green sauce pan
Fried the colonial ants
Enemies’ surrender flags
Whitened the entire Northwest forests
The strip of land
Narrow and curved like the letter S
For the humanity
To witness
Dien Bien!
THE VIETNAMESE SPIRIT
This battle,
Named COVID
Spread globally
A catastrophic pandemic
The Vietnamese spirit
The whole nation joined the fight
Once again, created
A mark of resilience!
AT THE END OF EARTH AND SKY
Hand in hand, at the end of Earth and Sky
From the Sacred Ancestral Mountain to the lush green Hạ Long Bay
Back to the City of Thousands of Flowers then Sầm Sơn’s rolling waves
WE will always be together as the end of Earth and Sky!
