Enjoyed very much Sara's poem :)

No comments!

Poet with "Q" in his name:
https://www.cn-poetry.com/qinjia-poe...s-to-wife.html

Lol... I know, another reason to like Basho more.

Tender poem. Wondering how much is lost in the English rendering into a rhyming poem.

"Riverwater and seawave,where is my boy?" - Bai Juyi; Riverwater and seawave... https://www.cn-poetry.com/baijuyi-po...r-seawave.html

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bai_Juyi

Enjoyed the poem. Chinese poems must be very difficult to translate.

"Slopes"."Slopes of Mount Kugami" by Taigu Ryokan
https://allpoetry.com/Slopes-Of-Mount-Kugami

Brings back memories of all the times I've moved: some sweet, some bitter-sweet, some just bitter (sigh)... too many.

"The saintly hermit, midway through his prayers" - Rainer Maria Rilke; The Unicorn... https://eliteskills.com/c/15458

:)

Delicate poem. As to the analysis eliteskills must somehow be involved in it. It had the courage to point out a maiden as one of the main symbols of the poem.
Needless to say, there is no maiden in the poem!. ;)

Spotless from blame is the Heart that proposed she not make this world her home, that she follow Him to her home… up the steep hill, up. Discouragement comes from the weight(s) we carry, making our step heavy, causing us to forget the light and joy and weightlessness that was the first grasping of Hope of Heaven. https://www.americanpoems.com/poets/...little-bundle/

"Vill nobodies try my nice Annual Pill," - Thomas Moore; The Annual Pill... https://www.poetrycat.com/thomas-moore/the-annual-pill

Yes.There seems to be a grammar problem there, but I see what he means.
Could not find a context to this poem.


"W'EN de clouds is hangin' heavy in de sky,"."My Sweet Brown Gal" by Paul Laurence Dunbar
https://allpoetry.com/My-Sweet-Brown-Gal

I think TM is just looking for a quick and easy fix of his society's drawbacks.

"No, I means my fiddle—dat's my sweet brown gal!" Lol, a fine turn at the end... Enjoyed the vernacular poem :)

Poem by a poet with an 'x' in their name:

"In the middle of a silence deserted as a street before a crime" - Xavier Villaurrutia; Nocturne: Nothing Is Heard... https://allpoetry.com/Nocturne:-Nothing-Is-Heard

Wonderful poem! Villarrutia may be obsessed by the idea of death. But he extracts beautiful images out of it.

"You cannot see the walls that divide your hand"."Nursery Rhyme for a Twenty-First Birthday" by A. S. J. Tessimond

https://allpoetry.com/Nursery-Rhyme-...First-Birthday

Brief enigmatic poem... enjoyed both the poem and the summary :)

Poem by poet with a 'z' in their name:

"Crouching hero walks with the guide of his broomstick" - Zandra Javier; I Went to the Zoo... https://allpoetry.com/poem/12743469-...-Zandra-Javier

A very interesting poem. Enjoyed! And a seldom occasion when the poet explains the meaning of the poem.
