325.《七絕‧風花》一老年人
雪月風花詩景待，
秋冬春夏好題材；
草棚不是青樓地，
問柳尋芳莫進來。
Qi Jue (28-Character Quatrain):
“The Wind and the Flower”
-- by 一老年人 ‘A Man of Advanced Years’
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
The Snow, Moon, Wind and Flower all want to go into poetry,
And Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer are good subject matters.
At the Thatch’d Pavilion one can’t find any Escort pretty –
If you had lusty sex on your mind, please do not enter!

Hi Frank, my rendition:
ReplyDeleteSnow, moon, wind and flower are excellent scenes for poetry,
Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer are good subject for poem matter.
Straw hut is not a brothel place,
Seek softness search for beauty, please do'nt enter!
