lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
    Right on schedule,
rain brings yellow wildflowers
    beside the bus stop.
Behind, on the saguaro,
one out-of-season white bloom.

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.
