Poem by Yen Chu Wang

In memory of my friend Yuan Chi, I have written a classical Chinese poem in the form of qiyan jueju( seven-character four-line truncated verse) as follows:

挽故友袁旂

王颜铸于20080726美国马利兰州

故友凋零又一人，

东樱未发忆初春。

红轮半没凭谁语？

相忘江湖泪满巾。

I lost another friend of mine;

I remember that early spring

Before cherry blossoms were fine.

To whom can I reveal my feeling

If the Red Sun has sunk at half-mast?

I can only shed tears

In solitude on the brine.
