There's something important
About Tang poetry that sometimes
Gets overlooked or confused
With the Zen idea of
Living in the moment
I'm thinking about the poet’s
Use of direct address
Speaking personally
Though in regulated style
And neither is it labored
As is the diction of us moderns
When we wax poetic
It's stream of consciousness
Organized line by line
With courtly style and flair
