New Year: Lantern Festival Tom Sharp

Thousands of townsfolk venture out as spring arrives. A small rain stops as soon as it starts. Wildflowers burst across the green hills. Guests from the city return for the rice wine, warm nights, and bright stars in a clear sky.

南乡子·宿州上元 苏轼

千骑试春游,小雨如酥落便收。 能使江东归老客,迟留。 白酒无声滑泻油。 飞火乱星球,浅黛横波翠欲流。 不似白云乡外冷,温柔。 此去淮南第一州。
