What a treat to read her beautiful poems, especially that first quatrain. I love how you reflected her voice in your own poem, while bringing yourself to it as well.
Yeah - that first quatrain is something special! Love it so much. Aw thanks Lisa - played around with that one for a long time to get it how I wanted it, so that's nice to hear.
Aw thanks LeeAnn - I don't really think about that aspect of it so it's really nice to hear. I always wonder how each poet impacts the poem I end up writing. :-)

In the moon’s pale light."
Here she sounds like a Tang poet! Thank you for sharing these beauties.
Such a great couple of lines. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if she was influenced by both Chinese and Japanese translations at the time. :-)
