RUBY
In lands afar, where characters reside,
Ruby came to be, by their side.
Above or to the right, it shines so bright,
Guiding us through logographs, day and night.
In East Asian realms, where languages speak,
Ruby characters, so dainty and sleek.
Japanese kanji, Chinese hanzi too,
With Korean hanja, they all come through.
With strokes and lines, these logographs stand tall,
But pronunciation, a mystery to all.
Enter ruby, with its annotative grace,
Revealing the sounds, at a steady pace.
In ancient times, Vietnamese chữ Hán,
And chữ Nôm, had ruby in their plan.
Archaic texts, still whisper their name,
Ruby characters, a legacy, they claim.
For young readers, who explore the unknown,
Ruby characters, a friend they have grown.
With pronunciation, they'll never be lost,
Thanks to ruby's guidance, at no cost.
