lnhammer: the Chinese character for poetry, red on white background (Default)
[personal profile] lnhammer
The wind kicks up
a cloud of tufted broom seeds,
whirling in white clouds
through the empty avenues;
stray clouds scud through the low sky.

An alternate draft of a Desert Year poem, which though discarded from the sequence I wanted to keep for other purposes.

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.
