Where Goes The Boat

Seven-words Poem
Where Goes the Boat
By William He

In the sultry shades depicted by Cole's Oxbow,
Green clouds stirring uplifted water lilies then.
Ripples get Apostle Paul of melting silhouette,
Shriveled plaques illumine tempestuous days.
The luscious aroma of peach allures aged lake,
The Ark in timeless tides into Heaven's Gate.
A promising land of reed fairies is enchanting,
The oracles that find what mortals never find.

七律
南湖红船
作者:何威廉

草熏云暖鹰窠顶,
半橹青烟半橹莲。
朱络兰桡留远客,
绿芜风榭动经年。
夭桃笑掩鸳鸯老,
太液波开锦鲤鲜。
隔岸芦花浑一色,
灵光三塔照方圆。

A dramatization of the real-life Johnson County War in 1890 Wyoming, in which a Sheriff born into wealth, attempts to protect immigrant farmers from rich cattle interests. 'Ark': Noah's Ark is the vessel in the Genesis flood narrative (Genesis chapters 6-9) by which the Patriarch Noah saves himself, his family, and a remnant of all the world's animals when God decides to destroy the world because of humanity's evil deeds. 'Oracle': An utterance (especially in ancient Greece) , often ambiguous or obscure, given by a priest or priestess at a shrine as the response of a god to an inquiry. A shrine or place at which such responses were given: the oracle of Apollo at Delphi.
