The Willow
The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,
A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.
But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?
The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.

In the Quiet Night
A bed, I see a silver light,
I wonder if it's frost aground.
Looking up, I find the moon bright;
Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
By Li Bai
Poets often create pictures ( images ) by putting words together in a skillful way. Usually when you read a poem, you will see pictures in your minds.IN THE QUITE NIGHTSo bright a gleam on the foot of my bed---
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found it was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.. 回乡偶书
少小离家老大回,乡音无改鬓毛衰。儿童相见不相识,笑问客从何处来。 Home ----Coming
Old, I return to the homeland I left while young,
Thinner has grown my hair, though I speak the same tongue.
My children, whom I meet, do not know who I am.
“Where are you from ,dear sir?” they ask with beaming eye.Sample translation of Tang poemsCOMING HOMEI left home young , I return old.
Speaking as then, but with hair grow
thin;
And my children ,meeting me, do not know me.
They smile and say:
Stranger , where do you come from?ON THE MOUNTAIN HOLIDAYAll alone in a foreign land.
I’m twice as homesick on this day,
When brothers carry dogwood up the mountain,
Each of them a branch– and my branch missingBy Wang WeiShakespeare

But never doubt I love.

Poets often create images by putting words together in a skillful way. Reading poems, we can see pictures in our minds.举头望明月A rhyme and a rhythmA rhyme is a repetition of identical or
similar sounds in two or more different
words and is most often used in poetry.
The term usually refers to the repetition
of sounds at the end of rhymed words. If
two words or lines of poetry rhyme, they
end with the same sound, for example
hop and pop. A rhythm is a regular
Repeated pattern of sounds or movements.Rhyme and rhythm are essential to poetry.
Without rhythm, there wouldn’t be poems.唐诗分五言,七言

I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire,
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange
they all were true.Back Brother
