Summer Rainy Days by Song dynasty poet Yang Wanli*

One part hot rain, one part cool,
Truly makes people love long days.
Across the water, know the wind comes with purpose,
To blow ten miles of rice blossom fragrance. 

*Wrote 20,000 poems

Winter Scene by Su Dongbuo

Lotus gone, no longer holding up rain covers*,
Chrysanthemum withered, still have frost-decorated branches!
A whole year's beautiful scenery, you better remember,
Especially the time when citrus are yellow and oranges are green.

*rain covers are umbrellas--think of the shape of lily pads

Spring Evening by Su Dongbuo

A few minutes of spring evening: worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Flowers give light fragrance, the moon casts shadows.
Song notes on the balcony, sound lilting waves.
Swing set in the garden, night lingering deep.
