Hi Visitor,

It’s great to meet you.

I didn’t even know this “About” page existed, so I edited in a little blurb.

Hi,

I am a composer and would like to use one of your english translated chinese poems to set music to.

Are there any copyright issues involved?

Please let me know.

Thank you!

Livia

Thanks for coming by deegeesbb.wordpress.com. I hope you found your way around okay.

I talked to an organizer about expanding the word on wrestling. I’ll send him to your page. Very nice.

Thanks,

Dave

Hey – Great blog. In case you’re still taking submissions, here’s my rendition of Li Bai’s drinking along by moonlight:

In Blossom Time

In blossom time
With a jug of wine
Drinking alone
Without a friend

I raise my glass
And invite the moon
To share the bottle
With me and my shadow

What a party we make
The moon looks down
In sober disdain
And my idiot shadow
Follows my every move

Friends for the night
We come together in pleasure
To make the most
Of this glorious weather

But while I sing and dance
Shadow wobbles unsteadily
And moon remains aloof
Far overhead

If only I could sober up
Before the party ends
Maybe we’d all end up
The best of friends

Yet before stumbling apart
Let me propose a solemn oath
That we three reunite soon
In the distant Milky Way

- Thanks for your help and Yes Shakespeare is my favorite wertir, How ever most people are really debating weather or not he being one man ever truly existed. I guess most people find it hard to believe that one man was able to come up with all the story lines that were so different from each other, Only they still can’t prove it! ^-^candy
