Oriole Shuttle by Liuo Kezhuang, a Song dynasty patriot
Throw the shuttle, darting through the tall willow tree,
Calling calling over and over, making the sound of the loom.
Luoyang* March flowers like shiny satin--
How much effort will such weaving require?
*a big city
Jianghu Cherry Blossom
No. 2
Observing new cherry blossoms, like they're smiling.
Suddenly, bright red drops scatter all around.*
No change in bright colors**, don't be shocked.
These flowers used to be high up in the branches, in full bloom.***
*The Japanese government changes a lot.
**figurative of the emperor
***The prime minister's brother became the next prime minister.
