Classic poem of the day
Fifth day of the fifth month,
sun beating down,
I snap my fan back and forth
but can't drive off the heat.
I want to call for a little boat
and go off to Yeh Stream:
lotus leaves, lotus blossoms, ten miles of wind.
Member poem of the day
These are poems about about rain, storms, ice, snow, sleet and other forms of weather. Some of the poems are translations of the fabulous Japanese poet Ono no Komachi.
Dark-bosomed clouds
pregnant with heavy thunder ...
the water breaks
—Michael R. Burch......
