詩壇中，何為好詩的論争從未停過。
試想像，中國有十四億人，那至少有一百萬個曾經寫過詩的人吧？
那至少有十萬個經常寫詩的人吧？
那至少有一萬個出版過詩集的人吧？
那至少有一千個活躍的知名詩人吧？
一千個活躍的知名詩人，你數得出幾人？
詩人如此多，所謂的詩歌流派也就如井噴了。
何為好詩的論争又怎會停下？
在過去十多年的詩壇武林大會廝殺戰役中，我是個偶爾插嘴的旁觀者。
我將新詩粗略地分成三種寫作姿態：
第一種是為給詩人看而寫，切磋、交流、自省、炫技、博名、博利、交友等等。
第二種是為給大眾或某一類人看而寫，炫技、博名、博利、交友、分享、吸睛、抒情、議事、論世等等。
第三種是詩自個要出來，借筆而生。自然流出，自然流傳。
三種寫作方向都有可能寫出好詩，而第三種好詩，是好中之好。
那是一種人類感情的天然共鳴，令無分派别的大多數人一看就有感覺，深受震動。
此時，所有論爭，都不值一提了。
只剩下----感動。
且看以下的故事：
越南戰爭（1959年—1975年），南越和北越打仗，美國參戰，派出大量美軍協助南越。越戰之慘烈，史上赫赫有名。
其時，在美國，一對普通家庭的母女相依為命，家中的丈夫，也是父親，在女兒4歲時應徵入伍，趕赴越南前線，不幸，在戰場陣亡。
他的愛人痛徹心菲，立誓此生絕不改嫁，活到80歲。
女兒在母親去世後，翻閱舊物，發現了一首動人的詩，那是母親寫給亡夫的悲歌：《但是你沒有》。
《但是你沒有》
記得那天，我借用你的新車，我撞凹了它
我以為你一定會殺了我的
但是你沒有
記得那天，我在你的新地毯上吐了滿地的草莓餅
我以為你一定會厭惡我的
但是你沒有
記得那天，我拖你去海灘，而它真如你所說的下了雨
我以為你會說「我告訴過你」
但是你沒有
記得那天，我和所有的男人調情好讓你嫉妒，而你真的嫉妒了
我以為你一定會離開我
但是你沒有
記得那天，我忘了告訴你那個舞會是要穿禮服的，而你卻穿了牛仔褲
我以為你一定要拋棄我了
但是你沒有
是的，有許多的事你都沒有做，而你容忍我鍾愛我保護我
有許多許多的事情我要回報你，等你從越南回來
但是你沒有
《But you didn't.》
Remember the day I borrowed your brand
new car and dented it?
I thought you'd kill me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach,
and you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all
the guys to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave, but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie
all over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do.
But you put up with me, and loved me, and protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you
when you returned from Vietnam.
But you didn't.
