Poetry Collection

Summary:

Various poems inspired by Tang-style poetry I've read. These are a bit inspired by Wei Wuxian from MDZS and what I think he would write from his perspective, but the work is largely my own.

Notes:

These are not strictly tonal-regulated Tang quatrains (the tonal patterns don't follow the rules), and the rhymes aren't consistent across the classical rhyme tables. But rookie's attempt.

Work Text:

絕句·問葬 (Referring to Lin Daiyu)

花飛春已盡
香斷不知人
老病無相問
空庭一塵閉

----

絕句·嗣絕

殘燈照空譜
老病一身存
死後名誰繼
寒灰無子孫

----

絕句·冬木

葉盡不藏鳥
枝枯無看人
秋來春已死
誰復問殘身

----

絕句·帳中

藥盡瘡不語
血滲衾漸寒
忍聲求速死
淚在骨中乾

----

絕句·失母

哭母無形貌
聲啞淚亦枯
空床疑喚乳
坐久不知吾

(And an extra couplet, even though it breaks form):

回頭見舊枕
枕在人已無
