A fresh start, a new mind; my old account was Renji Mao, which laid dormant for the better part of four years. Since I last published a work on Poemhunter, my written craft has expanded and matured. Now that I have found my voice, I can finally place my work here with confidence, instead of my halfhearted mental farts like I had done before- a promise I plan to always keep and never break.
As divertissement, I am in the process of constructing an auxiliary language following the work of L. L. Zamenhof's Esperanto. Therefore, there will be the occasional poem in what looks like an Esperantid (dialect of Esperanto) , wherein I will put a translation as well.
With night-hued shadows dance the silver strips
Of lovely Mistress Moon's visage ashine.
The crickets sing the fairness of her lips,
Their strings lay praise in rows out line by line.
...
Welcome to this little odd world
Where your words are without weight,
Where what you work writhes in its rate,
And want-ward wending impearled.
...
I peer into the park, the revel-table
Sitting on the grass where memories are made.
I feel the breeze brushing in the gambols
Throughout the throngs of shrubby shade.
