lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
    With red-capped head cocked,
hop hop 'round the oak tree trunk
    but without finding
anything worth poking at,
this quick acorn woodpecker.


No toktoktok here.

About

Warning: contents contain line-breaks.

As language practice, I like to translate poetry. My current project is Chinese, with practice focused on Tang Dynasty poetry. Previously this was classical Japanese, most recently working through the Kokinshu anthology (archived here). Suggestions, corrections, and questions always welcome.

There's also original pomes in the journal archives.
