Peony #6

Another day another peony - working my way around the vase!
yesterday I went for a Japanese haiku, today we venture down the classical Chinese path of poetry...

Visit to the Hermit Chui
Moss covered paths between scarlet peonies,
Pale jade mountains fill your rustic windows.
I envy you, drunk with flowers;
Butterflies swirling in your dreams.
— Qian Qi, 710-782  (Tang Dynasty)
