Dear Li Po
you wrote your Po-em of The Day
for Poemhunter
about drinking - and alone at that - without mentioning
that it's Saint Patrick's Day
when drinkers seldom drink alone
for the craic's the thing
so next time you have to drink alone
except for your shadow,
notice that your shadow
under the light of the Moon,
dances more drunkenly, and sooner
- happy shadow -
than you. You haven't noticed?
Then perhaps you're thinker
than you drunk you are

i really like the way this flows, like suds thru a tap on, well, Cinqo de Mayo.

I would like to translate this poem
I love the way my shadow dances with me when I'm alone. Keeps me company. Good poem, funny poem.xxElysabeth
