Question by Elysbeth: And your thoughts on ‘Excerpts From Poetry World, India’ morning ageless whatchamacallit?
Who me? Grow old? Are you nuts?
Time touches us physically…not
our minds…who is afraid?…..from just me!!!!
—————————————————-
From Hsu Chicheng, a contemporary poet from China:
“Is it time for you to get off work?
Yet you look back again and again.
What and whom are you reluctant to part with?
Look! The sun
Is coming with its strong rays
Like the surging waves
In Yangtze River…”
……………”The View in a Winter Morning”
——————————————
“When spring comes and the chance appears,
I will turn into a butterfly, flying gracefully
Into a bright flower of poetry.”
…………………………”Turning Into a Butterfly”
“The poet seeks to live afresh…his poems
bespeak a return to youth and childhood:
…”We raise our heads and overlook,
expecting another world.
…We raise our heads and overlook,
expecting another spring.
…………………..”Reappearance”
…………………………………………….
So, now that winter is upon us,
do we treat it as winter?
Or the prelude to Spring?
Good Morning! Good Morning!
Ya’llses of Springtime!!!

Answer by Sir Richard
I liked “Turning into a Butterfly” least, but I lapped the rest up gratefully thanks. He’s a very talented man, as is Yang Zongze who I think is Taiwanese, and responsible for these excellent and colloquial translations (if I’ve read the material in the attached link correctly). He’s good!

But, after Katrina, LOADS of Nawlins people settled in Houma, La., just 60 miles away. It has taken me 1 1/2 years to find a place I can afford! Greedy landlord *shit!!!
Plus, before Katrina, I heard only 1-3 sirens per week. After the ‘resettlement’ in Houma, of Nawlins people, it soared to 7-10 per night!!!
What does that tell you, eh?

Answer by Regwah
I’m having a hard time figurine this one out.
I did see that nice looking American terrorist & his sons on the news.
Two figurines collecting dust in my view right now, that you would be familiar with. The lost in space robot & Dr Who, complete with Sara Jane & K-nine.
The more figurines the more dust collects.
I think I see your point, he is more dust clinging to so many figurines.
