Drew A Sword Poem by Luo Zhihai

Drew a Sword
(Two Pairs of Couplets●Seven Words of Quatrain)


Leaves withered and flowers residual, pity the evening scenery
Willows sparse and bamboos thin, the autumn sound sighs
Zhong Kui drew a sword to cut the evildoer
Baishi became famous after his afterlife


Note:
1) Zhong Kui, in Chinese folklore, God who can get rid of the evil ghosts
2) Baishi, is Qi Baishi (January 1,1864 - September 16,1957) , a modern Chinese painting master.

拔劍
(對聯體●七絕)


葉萎花殘憐晚景
柳疏竹瘦歎秋聲
鍾馗拔劍斬妖孽
白石成名後半生
