  if I confess
  I find your poetic talent
  resembling, that
  of a modern day
  Li Bo
  I truly hope, you understand
  the depth of such a compliment
  dear Poet..
  (I wish you all the success you desire;
  I just hope
  you stay humble
  and enjoy, those simple
  pleasures in life..
  although, it must be hard
  when you've been gifted
  such a brilliant, intellect...
  I bow to your superior, poetic talent)
  thank you! for Choosing
  to share

    Truely remarkable
    I feel honoured
    Li Bo is my favourite poet!
    
    I also write in Chinese and
    refer to him as Li Bai {alternative}
    李白
    I never tire of reading Pubu 瀑布
    I have never attempted to follow his style
    
    A few weeks ago I wrote a tribute to Li Bai and Pubu
    
    Visiting Pubu
    looking for signs of Libai
    Flows from 9th Heaven
    拜訪瀑布乎
    志找李白其足跡
    從九天落下
    
    I first discovered humility in
    early primary school. I thought it was tough in those days but compared to others, nothing. I feel as proud to have worked picking up rubbish and sweeping the streets of Japan as to have taught Japanese school children and teachers.
    
    So your compliments reach ears
    that understand fully the depth
    of their meaning.
    I am crying now
    
    Here is another by Li Bo
    I am Zengda 曽達
    
    夜宿山寺 李白
    
    危樓高百尺
    手可摘星辰
    不敢高聲語
    恐驚天上人
    
    翻譯 曾達
    Overnight in the Mountain Temple
    
    A toppling Tower
    One Hundred Feet
    I can touch Stars
    Not game to speak aloud
    Lest I arouse the one
    in Heaven

    'Why do I live in the green mountains?
    I laugh and answer not, my soul serene
    I dwell
    in another paradise, where earth belongs to no man
    Where peach trees blossom
    forever, and the rivers flow on and on'
    (may poesy
    be Our, green mountains
    dear Poet)
    thank you!
