Poetry: Peach blossom bloomed as gorgeous as bloom rain

By: Amoureax Amant

Smoke rain moistened south land where mist blurred view,

falling like pearl slipping at leaves like dew,

while hitting leaves, rain breathed out hustle sigh,

while slipping down, rain fell to low from high.

Pearl rain slipped through blade tip like honeydew,

slipping like snow melting at root of yew,

while slipping down, rain hit moth flying by,

while melting in, rain vanished like firefly.

From first moment pearl rain fell from heaven,

raindrop in rain was like spray in ocean,

as though raindrop was leaf in chestnut tree,

as though raindrop was bloom in fragrant sea.

At last second pearl rain merged into mud,

raindrop softened wet soils where sprang up bud.
