In humble recognition of…

National Poetry Day, my upcoming trip to the foothills of the Himalayas and valleys of the Yangtze in just under a fortnight, and arguably my most favourite poet – Ezra Pound:

Separation on the River Kiang

Ko-Jin goes west from Ko-kaku-ro,
the smoke-flowers are blurred over the river.
His lone sail blots the far sky.
And now I see only the river,
the long Kiang, reaching heaven.

And if any of you like what you see here, and are interested in evocative Imagist poetry, I encourage you to take a look at Pound’s Four Poems of Departure, of which the above is an excerpt.

 

“Hold my hand, and I’ll show you the meaning of life,” whispered autumn.

Apologies…

friends, followers and fellow bloggers, for my lackadaisical effort in updating this little web-space recently. Currently in the midst of moving house and preparing for a rather important trip to China – needless to say, I’m feeling anything but creative and entertaining at present. Normal service will be resumed shortly. Hope you’re all magnificent.
