    His successor bloviates ~ too little, too late

Each Age For Silliness

Each Age for silliness
Laughed back on is.
By its more sophisticated 
Time-successor.

Itself the butt, to be
Of the same joke:
"Rusty, fusty; too slow; sombre.
And more; a bore!"

Standing Alone In the Boundless Space and Time

Looking forwards, I cannot see any ancient forerunner,
Yet looking backwards, nor can I find any successor.
Standing alone in the boundless space and time,
I can’t help shedding tears like an actor in a mime.

Inspirational Writings

a dancing shadow
coming, coming from the spirit

some inks spray
on the white sprite paper

it's writing,
inspiration voice
in poetry figure

soul to soul alive
these all are
for the successor

The Wild Lilly

I knew some plant pieces by your name 
When my father tried to persuade me 
To be his successor as a TCM practitioner 
I have not seen your beauty until recently 
When my wife made our garden your home 

I was confused by these controversial facts 
That someone like my wife value Your beauty 
While others like my father deplete your life
For their own purposes ?

Premium Member Terror Rising

The blood of an evil man,
Spilled upon our world;
A new terror awakens,
His successor soon unfurls

Justice wields its mighty sword,
A mongrel succumbed to fate;
The mighty wings of an eagle,
Left nothing to contemplate

While our nation slumbers,
A serpent sets its course;
Waiting for that moment,
To strike without remorse

Let us slay our prejudices,
Together we'll stand and fight;
Terror stalks our fertile soil,
God bless our land of rights

Premium Member The Farewell Night

Kindly sleep and farewell
Our friendship will soon expel
For three-sixty five days long
Warm relation was so strong

The last midnight of melancholy
The last minute of full tizzy
Too sob to tell you adieu
Time frame will pass through

You assisted to dress my life
To move forward to final line
You powered my body and soul
To print a success year goal

You take me to your successor
Then say goodbye after referred 
You wish good luck to my life   
Further route to be survived
