Kedou has chosen this poem to mark Qing Ming -- a day when we remember and pay respects to our ancestors. A sombre mood falls like drizzle. I meet a cowherd, and tired of travelling, ask the way to the nearest inn, which turns out to be in a quaint village faraway, where apricots blossom. - The Tang of Poetry 6: Part 2 of Qing Ming (0mb)

"A Verse" is by famous Sichuan poet, Dufu. Two yellow orioles sing merrily in the green willows. Framed against the blue sky, a flock of white egrets fly towards their destination. Looking out of his window, Dufu is reminded of a picture postcard. On the west, snow-capped mountains stand guard. On the east, lies a harbour -- a safe port for ships that have come from far away. - The Tang of Poetry 5: Part 2 of A Verse (0mb)

Luo Binwang wrote this poem when he was just 7 years old! You may think geese are noisy creatures, but they're part of nature too.

"A Drift of Snow by the River" is by Lu Zongyuan. A thousand hills and not a bird is in sight. It seems like no one has ever set foot in this place, and yet, a solitary fisherman sits on his raft on the still river. The snow drifts against his straw hat and coat, painting a serene scene of man and nature. - The Tang of Poetry 2: Part 2 of A Drift of Snow by the River (0mb)
