The Jackfruit
... To taste you must plug me quick, while fresh: ...
Swinging
... Swingposts removed, the holes lie empty ...
Water-bailing
... Crouched, straining to catch each trickle from the rockheads, ...
Day and Night
... how we disappear into each other ...
Floating Sweet Dumpling
... The hand that kneads me is hard and rough ...
Wasps
... Come, big sister will teach you how to write verse ...
Snail
... Dear prince, if you love me, unfasten my door ...
Jackfruit
... Dear prince, if you want me pierce me upon your stick ...
Viewing Cac-Co Cavern
... Moss covered openings expose themselves with impudence ...
Lamenting Widow
... Don't eat the meat, if it makes you cough blood! ...
Day Sleeping Girl
... In that one Fairy rivulet, the current seems to stop flowing ...
To A Couple Of Students Who Were Teasing Her
... Here, I'll teach you how to turn a verse or two ...
Three-Mountain Pass
... Gentlemen, lords, who could refuse, though weary ...
The Fan
... The more it is hot the fresher you will submit, ...
Spring-Watching Pavilion
... Three times the bell tolls echoes like a wave ...
