lnhammer: two saguaro cacti in a desert thornscrub landscape, with canyon walls behind (desert)
10 April

    Along the creek-bank
as the young trees bud and bloom,
    three old cottonwoods
dressed in mature green leaves toss
their fluffy seeds to the wind.

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.
