It is a brief extract from a poem by Su Shi in the Northern Song dynasty in ancient China, a major personality and poet. Apparently, it is about a gusty evening shower that comes suddenly and then stops quickly. Now I recall evening showers in summer were just like this when I was growing up. Rains should fall in this manner.

中国北宋の著名人であり詩人であった蘇軾の詩の抜粋です。ざあっと降ってすぐに止む夕立を詠んだものだそうです。昔の夕立は確かにこういう感じでした。雨もこんな具合ならいいのに。

Finally, we are beginning to have summerlike weather, which reminded me of this one. This is my old work of a summery poem I wrote many years ago.

It was just by a chance that I got to know there are peacocks in a nearby shrine. Then, I searched for a haiku and a poem from ancient China with a “peacock” motif. I soon found both but they both are poems on spring season, which means I was a little late to do this.

ふとしたことから、近くのお宮さんに孔雀がいることを知りました。そこで、孔雀を題材にした俳句と漢詩を探したところ、両方ともすぐに見つかりましたが、両方とも春の詩で、少々遅かったです。
