Three Chinese Poets

Vaulting over the Earth, moon splashes into Yellow River. Li Po follows, aiming to embrace his vision. Water fills his lungs. Burrowing through stone, the Tao snakes across Earth’s surface. Lao-Tzu follows, not resisting death. Wu wei wiggles on. Burning with ambition, Fu Du, Poet-Sage, skyrockets toward duty. Failure follows, ending in deep unrest. Poems: everlasting.
