These are some Chinese metrical poems that I recently wrote. It was a fun rhyme poetry game played with four other poetry friends. Our Ying Ying was one of them.
We have 48 hours to compose, using Pingshui rhyme system, "Wu Ge" rhymes, about one hundred or so words to choose from. The word assigned to me is Ge, which means each of my poems must contain the word 歌. Some describe writing metrical poems is like dancing with chains on your ankles. The game that we played is like dancing with heavy chains on both our ankles and arms : ) These are the eight quatrains that I wrote. I finally had a taste of the ancient poets' so called body slimming 苦吟 experience. Although the slimming part may not be as effective as running, I did get my fair share of both bitterness and sweetness during the writing process ~ ~
I suggest playing the Chinese classical music attached below and drinking some green tea while reading the poems, to get the full experience of it : )
分韻詩歌遊戲，在48小時內寫出，用平水韻“五歌”韻，每首需含 “歌”字，這是我寫的八首絕句，嚐了一下古人“苦吟”的滋味 ～～
【天玉之近體詩絕句八首】
【五絕】畫眉
泉水潤雙娥，青枝婉囀歌。
語多籠裏啞，空穀惠風和。
【七絕】玉青河
月下無聲一棹歌，水波微漾玉青河。
菰蒲深處心音振，柔了時光意漸酡。
【七絕】瀟湘怨
曾是檀欒青鬱翠，蕭蕭鳳尾蹭歡歌。
子規夜夜啼無寐，似喚還吾寶玉哥。
【七絕】情渡
純真不齒唱浮歌，相悅知音雪雨磨。
閱盡古今千百事，最難負載渡情波。
【五絕】鴛鴦
無譜水邊歌，緣深入碧河。
一番風雨後，濁去撥清波。
【七絕】婆娑
在君眼底舞婆娑，因解晴眸從未挪。
七色花香旋汝醉，靈犀一點蝶扇歌。
【七絕】嵩山仙境
江湖沉起菀枯歌，良莠閑人走馬過。
花蝶酒香仙一境，師師輕倚燕青哥。
【五絕】遠眺
月灑陳年酒，濤吟反複歌。
啟窗天海闊，落日與君多。
