E Y

Dragon

I am the strong gentle dragon
that protects people and is very nice.
Burn the people who don't respect the village.
I'm the Year of the Dragon.
I'm 100 feet long and
I weigh over 10,000 pounds.
I am the golden dragon
the great one.

Playing with the Moon (after Li Bai)

I play with the moon.
The moon made a
3 pointer.
I made
a half court.

Translating Wang Wei

Upon a deer an empty mountain
not see man, but hear
man voice sound. Reflecting
Shadow enter deep forest
and shine green moss
Enclosure.
