(The two poems following were the result of a game. Several friends each gave their versions of a poem by Li Bai— also known as Li Po.)
the mountain: questions and answers
by Li Bai
ask for me where desire lives on green jade mountain
laugh when there's no reply my heart is free of care
peach petals disperse upon the river's surface
they disappear depart under heaven's sky I am alone
--Wulf Losee
the
beauty of mountains
there are
no questions
no answers
emotions flow
there are
no questions
no answers
emotions flow
through
me
on
green mountain
like petals
in a stream
like petals
in a stream
together,
apart
we disappear
we disappear
--Brian
Howlett
