After The Rains

Last night’s rainfall was about 2” and today, there was a storm break The streets were wet and in some places, water was flowing down from the higher levels. Towards the mountain side were still looming storm clouds while further away towards the city, the skies were blue with white fluffy clouds.

This poem can be reinterpreted as something else but I refrain commenting any further as I do not wish to be drawn into unnecessary inconveniences.

1 雨後山坡斜路溪 The rains had passed and path of mountain paths had become rivulets,
2 風過樹下千滴危 Beware of water droplets under tree canopies as the wind passes by.
3 西方烏雲仍未散 Dark clouds in the westerly direction had yet to disperse,
4 蓬島陽光無盡暉 But endless sunshine upon the Fairy Isles.

4 The Fairy Isles or the Blessed Isles are believed to be located in the Eastern Ocean. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Penglai
