(HBO) – As usual, in the middle of the first Lunar month, on the occasion of the Vietnam Poetry Day, 20 poets from the Literature and Arts Association of Hoa Binh gathered to enjoy poems and music together.


 Two poets from the Literature and Arts Association of Hoa Binh perform the song "Mua xuan dau tien” (First Spring) at the event.


In a wide space at the private home of painter and musician Van Thao, the son of famous late music composer Van Cao, the poets and artists staged many special performances.

Poet Dinh Dang Luong chose the poem entitled "Nguyen tieu” (first full moon) by President Ho Chi Minh to perform.

Meanwhile, artist and musician Van Thao introduced his song "Nguoi di tim la dieu bong” (The man searching for dieu bong leaves) that he wrote about late poet Hoang Cam.

At the event, 15 poems and songs were introduced and performed by the artists themselves. In the warm atmosphere of Spring, artist Pham Quang Du played his guitar and sang the "Xuan tren dao” (Spring on the island) which was about soldiers safeguarding the country’s sky and sea in Truong Sa.

Poets Le Thanh Hong and Le Mai Thao performed the "Mua xuan dau tien” (First Spring), a famous song that was composed in 1976 Spring, the first spring after the country was reunified.

With strong emotion, poet Le Mai Thao said that although this year’s event is small in scale due to impact of COVID-19, it provided a great chance for the artists to meet and exchange. Thao expressed his hope that in 2022, the pandemic will be pushed back, so that the Vietnam Poetry Day will be held in a larger scale with the participation of more poets.
