I am very thankful for the beautiful poems and photos by my poetry friend Bai Jiu. He planted lotus flowers in his backyard last summer. Everyday, he visited them, took photos, and wrote a poem. I followed him for two weeks, writing each poems with him. Here they are: twelve seven-character quatrains in Chinese metrical forms. I put them together and rearranged them. It reads like a love story, with a beginning,an ending, and plenty of drama. I hope you like it. With this collection of poems, I would also like to thank those who taught me writing quatrains poems and led me to a beautiful world of Chinese metrical poems.
Enjoying the lotus flowers and my poems while listening to this music will give you a multisensory experience ~~
