I love this so much! I’ve been learning Chinese and really have enjoyed reading translations from the US Poet laureate Arthur Sze. I love that you included details about how classic Chinese poems are formed. I learned something new!
Not quite long enough to make a reply for you without using a translator! Haha, on and off for about a year. Not rigorous but I enjoy the 小红书 app and want to visit China someday! <3
I really had to sit with this one for a minute. It touched a place inside me and stirred old memories. Night has a way of holding what we don’t have words for, and your poem captured that so tenderly. Thank you, Dorie. 💛

No worries! I love 小红书, I find most of my recipes there. We have a small poetry group there as well.
China is very beautiful, and the cost of living is so much cheaper. I miss being there very much. My hope is to move there permanently.
Oh really! That's super cool! I didn't consider searching for poetry there (duh). I will do that! <3 Yes it's very beautiful!
Wow, I love this poem. It flows impeccably well, and it has precise intention.
I love learning about the parallels and more about Chinese style poetry.
Thank you Gub! Chinese poetry is my academic obsession. It will take me years to master it, and I don’t mind it at all. 🩷
This is so interesting. And I LOVED the poem!
Thank you so much
You're welcome 🤗
This poem really carries me. Well done!
Thank you Hannah 🩷

Andrea you are absolutely on point! Yes the night has a way of holding what we don’t have words for. Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful comment.
Concise and full of emotional weight, the way a poem should be. Well done Dorie
Thank you @PancakeSushi 🩷
This reads like an act of care … for the form, the language, and the reader.
Thank you , Dorie, for taking the time to build that awesome bridge.
