Li Po and Du Fu I admire what you do
or I should write did.
Your poems are without peer
profound and so clear
It amazes me you wrote such
masterpieces of poetry way back
in the 8th century
If I could travel back in time
I’d like to be mentored by
both of you
maybe on
top of the Green Mountains
And maybe if we had
the time and the daring
between creating works
of poetry
in the literary
landscape of the Tang
dynasty
we could
go on a quest
for the dragon pearl.
