Seven-Character Quatrain·Composed in Late Autumn (9)

沐 风

By Mu Feng

    露浥轻尘柳线低，

Dew moistens light dust; willow threads hang low,

    风扶残叶作秋题。

Wind brushes fading leaves—an autumn theme.

    烟溪花淡凉生砚，

The misty stream, pale blooms—coolness spreads on inkstone,

    漫写银河照客西。

I freely write of the Milky Way shining on the westward guest.

作于2026年元月31日，海上怡趣堂。

Written on January 31, 2026, at Yiqutang, by the Sea.

注：平水韵【八齐】仄起首押

Note: Composed in the “Eight Qi” rhyme scheme of Ping Shui Yun, with the first line rhymed in the oblique tone pattern.
