喜雨

Joyful Rain


朝见一片云
暮成千里雨
凄清湿高枝
散漫沾荒土

This morning I saw a single sheet of cloud.
By evening, rain for leagues around.
Cool and pure, dripping from high branches.
Everywhere overflowing, soaking the desolate dust.

-- 孟郊


废话

I'll just sit here and let you enjoy this one. Although, since you're here, I'll point out that this poem simply is what it is, without any second facet or literary allusion. Perhaps his long practice of Chan Buddhism is displacing his cultural ideology, making his poetry pure.
