Changing of the year
Rid of the old, welcome the new, today.
Time to change the old to welcome the new.
The sage poet understands the meaning:
New, old; both are fitting.
5th of May Poetry Writing Party
General's May 5th feast: a throng of literati.
On display, several maps of provincial styles,
Clearly detailing different kinds of plants and crops.
Heart skips, a sword near green calamus.
Appreciating orchids, searching for a line: fresh dainty guests,
Clutching flowers, passing out drinks: old boozing drunkards.
Big house, steps are even, level pathways lined with flowers,
You can lean on a tree, tipsy, no need to be steadied.
The host of the party, General Nuo (like button), a military low-ranking general. He invited several tens of poets to come write poems.
