中文诗篇
“六款温村人 酷暑正难熬，老张邀请朋友聚会，我们当然是满口应承，一定会欣然前往。
张夫人提醒需带上一份作业《怎样成为温村人？》。我的天，这是啥意思？这是啥套路？为啥喝酒还要带作业？是鸿门宴还是华山论剑比才艺？老张的party总是有创意。去年比的是才艺，看看谁和老张套近乎又让老张认不出，高人们不枸一格，荤的，素的，诗文并茂，使出了十八般手段，把张总迷地一楞一楞的，大家台下笑地直抽筋。今年又搞出新花样，玩出新高度，如何成为温村人？这明摆着就是说，欢迎你是温村人，如果不是温村人你好意思来吗？看来老张套路深，喝酒也要喝出味中味，看谁是懂酒又懂情的人。
弄清了老张的套路，心中就有底，老张的酒是喝定了，鸿门宴何所惧。划条杠，先把自己划进去，怎样吃喝都有理。如果是华山论剑比才艺，咱就坐在后排装低调，让高手撕杀咱拣便宜。
赶到老张的家，前院己停滿了車辆，冲到老张的后院，己有多位朋友背靠红河，正坐在树荫下热聊。刚坐稳主人就迫不及待地催交作业，第一个就点我的名，咱胸有成竹自然不慌，首先划个道把自个划进温村人，咋吃咋喝都有理。
第一款，在温村生活二十年，这是一条硬杠杠：冬天零下四五十度的冰冻，夏天成百上千的蚊虫追杀，历经二十多年的修炼成为温村人，你不服也不行。话音落了没掌声，这分明就是有情况，细看观众席上有几位显山露水的老明友，必须浓墨重彩地把他们划进去。
第二款，在温村居住无论长短，只要事业有成，为社区做出了贡献，社区为你骄傲，因为有你更美好。这也是一条铁杠杠。巧了，今天这里也有刘关张，不是三国而是温村的刘关张–关张兄弟俩不忘初心走的是金光道，总是慷慨解囊助力社区很多公益活动。为啥刘团今天没露面，不是没有交作业吧？有舞台就有刘团，这才是刘团一贯的风格。刘团走的是文艺风，没来大家也惦记着你，唱歌跳舞玩魔术，杂耍变脸万人迷。老姨有个健康加油站，让一周辛苦拼搏和一生劳累的人们，能在周末来这里歇歇脚，加加油，充充电，把身体搞好，继续往前冲。这里有绘画，跳舞，乒乓，太极舞龙耍狮花样多，不时还让老关献献爱心。要使温村后继有人，一定得找帅哥李月树。他能为你的孩子规划起跑线，让孩子在起跑线上就领先，飞的更高，再来个快马加鞭都不是事。再说我们的代言人乔治大叔，每日温馨提示防雨防雪保安全。喝水不忘挖井人，他们是像神一样存在的温村人。
第三款，是从咱温村土窝窝里飞出的金凤凰，入读世界名校，就业世界百強企业，他/她们无论飞多远多高都是温村人。
第四款，平凡的温村人，我们带着希望，来到温村，是温村热情地接纳了我们，让我们白手起家，鸟枪换炮，破车换新车，生活心滿意足。
第五款，曾经离开温村又回到了温村，外面套路深，还是回温村，这是对温村情深的人，他们叶落归根回温村。
第六款，正在奋斗中的温村人，温村给你知识和勇气，心有多大，天地就有多宽，加油！面包黄油都会有的，我们伴你一同前行！
最后一款，是永不离开温村的人，他们是永恒的温村人。
英雄不问出处，好汉不论老少，投奔温村不分先后。来时两手空空，无牵挂，此时一头白发，有车有房。问一声成为一个温村人是难是易？漫漫寒冬冰雪伴，辛酸苦辣自己知，蚊兵追杀度盛夏，硕果累累醉深秋。举起酒杯问一声，当年的豪情还剩几分？做个温村人值不值？如说值，咱用五粮液美酒敬你！走一个，豪情万丈吼一声，温村你是我故乡！
——邓硕
红河里的一滴水
曾是汗滴 是眼泪 曾经苦涩 曾经甘美 曾是露珠 沾湿清晨的花蕊 曾是雾霭 与回忆在黄昏里 弥漫飘飞 是片片清雪 旋舞在冷寂的月光下 是颗颗雨滴 穿过斜风 浸透大地 美丽的红河 做成你里面极小的一滴 你欣然接纳张开双臂 在你涓涓的涌流中 你给浪花的欢愉 你给舒缓的宁静 你给不干枯的岁月 你给不寂寞的风景 在你的涓流中 我们忘记以往的曾经 与你一道 春日吟唱 夏日奔涌 秋日静淌 冬日成冰 写下我们的时光 我们的年日里 浸染着你的品性 …. ——旭影
七律：温村温情人
红河别舍会诸红， 今日寒城已不同。 觉少亲情寒浸腑， 感怀真意暖温情。 风华磨砺漂然叶， 暮色增添绚丽虹。 舒眉翘指赞张公！ ——潇湘凌空
我是温村人
二十二年前，隆冬的一天，举家迁移温城。零下三十度，哈气凝成冰。使我懵头转向，怀疑来错了地方？十八年前，读书找工作，想奔向远方，无奈还是留在了这里!繁忙工作之余，陪着女儿一起长大，不知不觉，女儿己高飞远走!十年前，夏日庭院，蔬菜瓜果，恍如伊甸园。梦想蜂飞蝶舞，身旁仍是那个他。冬日团团饭，家家顿顿香。朋友三五聚，偶访女儿安。亲情友情皆有，恍然回首，已是我第二故乡。

如何成为温村人
今年的酒会 不知哪个高人 突发奇想 酒来入肚 先做命题文章 如何成为温村人？ 各有各的故事 各有各的衷肠 遥想当初，咱也翩翩少年 为了传说中的诗和远方 稀里糊涂，跋涉千里 来到了红河谷的故乡 望着寂寞的好山水 心中默念： 这里不是我的家 温村只是我租的一间房（未完待续） ——老姨夫
我眼中的温尼伯人（藏头诗）
移花接木花亦木 民始故地接踵来 钓誉沽名非乱世 鱼目混杂辨黑白 健体方知耄耋路 身心还须两重环 种瓜或许得仙豆 菜菽精捡心可宽 ——邢力伟
温尼伯
让我掉下眼泪的不止是今夜的酒 让我依依不舍的还有你的温柔 今宵还能嗨多久你拉着我的手 让我心驰神往的是各位好朋友 相约总是在七月让友谊天长地久 夏日盛开的花朵亲吻着我额头 在这座寒冷的小城里很高兴认识了你 温尼伯带给我的只有你 和我在温尼伯街头走一走 直到所有的灯都熄灭了也不停留 你会挽着我的衣袖我会把手揣进裤兜 走到Pembina 的尽头坐在福满楼门口 相约总是在七月让友谊天长地久 夏日盛开的花朵亲吻着我额头 在这座寒冷的小城里很高兴认识了你 温尼伯忘不了的只有你 和我在温尼伯街头走一走 直到所有的灯都熄灭了也不停留 你会挽着我的衣袖我会把手揣进裤兜 走到Pembina 的尽头来到老张家喝酒。 ——黄波
我是Winnipeger
很久以前，我不知道有个城市叫Winnipeg 更不知道会成为我的第二故乡 认识她， 是那天路灯下绵绵长长的Pembina Hwy 认识她， 是那年初秋阔阔的蓝天 认识她， 是down town 里有个cityplace 认识她， 是那international center 里和蔼可亲的政府职员， 认识她， 是红河学院里可敬可爱的老师 认识她， 还有【张学勇移民公司】 后来我才知道 她还有零下四十多度的寒冬， 她还有温和旖旎的盛夏， 她还有可以和海边媲美的白色beach 她还有让你深深沉醉的宁静，祥和 我深深的热爱上了她--温尼伯 因为，她有朴实真诚的胸怀 她有热情善良的居民 她让你能够找到自我 她让你感到祥和自由 每当回到交织着浓厚感情的James Armstrong Richardson International Airport 那感觉就是回到故乡 每当开车走在Pembina Hwy 那感觉就是在咱家门口 每当谁说温尼伯不好 总要当面争辩几句 每当想是不是换个大点的城市 总感觉真心舍不得 舍不得这里不分四季的艳阳 舍不得这里寒暑如一的蓝天 舍不得温尼伯这个温暖的名字 舍不得这名字下的浮现的不变的容颜 我曾经为她洒落如花的年华， 她也已经成为我的故乡！ ——BAMBU
东渡三十春 西迁二万里 南鸟误入冰雪地 北疆奠新基 有缘温村为友 感恩一路有你 不弃不离长相伴 提携倍感情谊 喜结新朋 幸会老友 美酒高歌晚霞下 欢声笑语惊四里 谁说长冬难熬 笑傲零下四十 红河谷畔胜故里 小城温馨无比 ——俞健力/谢琳琳
【江城子】第二乡
当年怀志往它乡，冷寒风，雪猖狂。生在南疆，何缘去北方？闯荡天涯为梦想，冬漫漫，又何妨？
拼搏奋斗要坚强，苦读书，战职场，数载艰辛，异域把根扎，遥望东陵难聚首，温尼辟，第二乡。
说明：使用【江城子】词牌名而作，但有个别词为了顺口和容易理解，没有严格按照平仄要求，权当现代自由古诗词

七律 温村人（久居温尼伯有感）
弹指一挥岁月陈，久居异地练丹心。 数十冬夏寒窗苦，几度春秋书读尽。 聪慧方能业绩好，精明皆可事成真。 莫道桃园名世外，不及枫国我温村。
——梁滨华/张曼娜

Winnipeg——
My Second Hometown
This is the place where I call my home;
Where the maple trees grow;
Where the prairie winds blow;
Where snow tops the mountains;
Where mountains of hopes reach the sky;
Where an ocean of kindness fills all hearts;
Where happiness flows like the water of a river;
Where love is a breath of fresh air;
Where compassion is as tall as the Douglas fir;
Where understanding is as deep as the Great Lake;
It seems that Winnipeg is the place of nowhere,
But Winnipeg is the place of everywhere!
Canada! Winnipeg! Our homeland! We love you and we are very proud to be Canadian!
——MingDi Zhao

【I am not a Winnipegger】
I am not a Winnipegger because I was born in China.
I am not a Winnipegger because I grew up in China.
I am not a Winnipegger because I was educated in China.
I am not a Winnipegger because I fell in love and got married in China.
I am not a Winnipegger because I became a mom in China.
I am not a Winnipegger because I never liked Winnipeg’s mosquitos;
I am not a Winnipegger because I never liked the Winnipeg’s 40 below winter days;
I am not a Winnipegger because it will take 3 years to upgrade a bridge in Winnipeg!
I am not a Winniepegger because It will take a couple of months to see a specialist if you are lucky!
However,
when I was visiting China, I could not wait to come back to Winnipeg;
When someone saying Winnipeg is too cold, I would say Winnipeg’s cold is not as bad as you thought;
When someone says Winnipeg has a lot of mosquitos, I would say it became so much better in the past few years, I hardly ever noticed any mosquitos in recent memory!
When someone says Winnipeg’s road is so bad, there are too many cracks, pot holes!, I would say, this will teach you how to drive! Edmonton is so much worse!
When people complains it takes so long to build a bridge, I would have said, you know what？This does test your patience!
When people complains it takes too long to see a doctor, I would have said, living a healthy life style, then you would not need to see a doctor, and save some tax payer’s money, then you can pay less taxes!
I do not know if I can call myself a Winnipegger or not;
But I do call Winnipeg home, home, sweet home;
My children always say we are from Winnipeg!
—— HuiLan

You are a Winnipegger
1. If you know Winnipeg has been crowned the Slurpee Capital of the World.
2. If you enjoy Slurpee even at 9:00 a.m. on a freezing January morning.
3. If you realize our Winnipeg Jets fans are the proudest (and loudest) hockey fans.
4. If you know “Longitudinal Centre of Canada – 96 degrees 48 minutes 35 seconds” is about 12 km east of Winnipeg on Trans-Canada Highway 1 – and the 20 Acres Centre of Canada Park with the “Little Canada” natural playground, picnic area, and open Wi-Fi network is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
5. If you’ve never been to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights – the first national museum located outside of the capital region, though you know it’s right at the Folks in Downtown.
6. If you have been to or/and know Banana Boat, BDI (Bridge Drive-In), Sargent Sundae, The Supreme Ice cream Shoppe, and Licks are Winnipeg’s long standing and best original non-franchise ice cream parlours.
7. If you recognize the two seasons in Winnipeg – Construction season and Winter.
8. If you know skating on The Red River Mutual Trail is possibly the only good thing about our long, cold winter.
9. If you know Winnipeggers take their trick-or-treating seriously and you have to buy a larger size for your Halloween costume as a kid because chances are, you’ll be wearing a parka underneath it.
10. If you know the mosquitos are BAD and you always seem to forget insect repellent.
11. The best burgers always come from an old-fashioned food stand like VJ’s Drive-In, Dairi-Wip, and Whistle Pig (closed now?), anyone?
12. If you know Downtown Winnipeg has an absurd amount of one-way streets and it might take a few loops, but you always get to your destination eventually.
13. If you heard Room 202 of the Fort Garry Hotel is seriously haunted – and even if it isn’t, you’re not going to be the one to find out either way.
14. If you know the city’s cycling routes and bus systems aren’t exactly elaborate – sometimes, the bus comes. Occasionally, it doesn’t. Sometimes, there is a bike lane. Often times, there isn’t.
15. Our homegrown hockey stars are treated like celebrities – If Jonathon Toews, OM (Captain of Chicago Blackhawks) returns home there will likely be a city-wide parade (they’ve already named a community centre after him, after all).

22. If you know once a Winnipegger, always a Winnipegger.

24. If you are told Portage and Main is called the windiest corner of Winnipeg.
25. If you learn on the shortest day of the year the sun rises at 8:24 AM and sets at 4:29 PM. On the longest day of the year the sun rises at 5:20 AM and sets at 9:41 PM.
