My Yellow Crane Tower Poem
With encouragement from Lily Pri (https://www.italki.com/user/1365969), I have more confidence in my paltry knowledge of the language by sharing poems I wrote on inspiration. This one is due to the magnificent ceramic painting in the Yellow Crane Tower for which I wrote a note entry. https://www.italki.com/notebook/718609/entry/870951
高樓一曲橫音笛,
In the tall Tower, a song from a side flute was heard playing,
瀛洲無路浮影覿.
There's no road to the Immortal Isles, only its reflection seen afloat on the waves.
雕牆仙界黃鶴舞,
On the carved walls, yellow cranes dance in the skies of Fairyland,
跨越時空紅塵壁.
Riding one would soar through time and space, transcending this mundane world wall of obstacles.
