Su Shi (1036-1101)

Cloudburst At Meitang
        Su Shi 1036-1101

At our feet
        a clap of thunder,
Lightening slashes obstinate clouds
        they don't disperse.
Outside dark wind tears at the lake,
From east of Zhejiang rain blasts in
        the river spills over
                like wine from a golden goblet
A thousand tree branches 
        knock together like drums.
One splash of cold water 
        arouses the Banished Immortal
                who brushes sharp shark words 
                        and torrents of jade blossoms.
