Memorial day draws near.
Weather turns quite clear.
Back from parents' grave.
What good life they gave!
2
I'd like to watch the alien plays.
Our native ones fail me always.
Something charms me in them.
The domestic tempt us seldom.
3
When praised not too happy.
When blamed not get angry.
Only long for peace of mind.
Nothing worth effort to find.
4
Very lucky as a northerner.
Not used to south weather.
All things feel soaking wet.
Living there creates upset.
5
First day owned a new card.
Second took a journey hard.
That trip not been designed.
It suddenly came into mind.
6
Behind the great waterfall
The nests in cliff quite tall.
For defense of the curtain
The chicks in safe heaven.
7
Spring goes and comes back.
Youth can't retrace the track.
We feel guilty to waste time.
Especially right in our prime.
8
When treasure child and wife,
Remember who gave you life.
Prize help received in trouble
From all those affable people.
9
The young fond of show.
Old none tends to know.
Young anxious for fame.
The aged become tame.
10
She has beautiful, oval face,
Conducts herself with grace.
I like the way the lady talks.
Joyful sight when she walks.
11
This apprentice is Japanese,
Whose level above Chinese.
Wushu master feels so sad.
But as a successor not bad.
14
Your skill has reached a level,
Of that no others are capable.
Just what is so-called wonder.
Efforts are demanded forever.
20
The attacks are just for show.
Neither side gets heavy blow.
And both nations in any case
Have eluded any loss of face.
21
Empty stomach emits a sound.
It reaches others' ears around.
If some snack might be found.
Just a moment meals abound.
