Smelly Doufu is Cooking in Yunnan's City of Eternal Spring
Haigeng Park comes alive. Kites reach far into Kunming sky.
Children are shouting at play. Winter clothes stay at home.
Boats go far out on Dianchi Lake. A fish splashes on the line.
Smelly doufu is cooking. The world warms, south of the clouds.
Smelly Doufu is Cooking in Yunnan's City of Eternal Spring took First Place in the Sights and Sounds of Spring competition for an unrhymed quatrain in the style of Guin Xiu and was also selected as the Editor's Choice in the Spring 2006 edition of Sol Magazine. Read on Radio Sarawak on 25 Feb 2009 and at Yunnan University, March 2011.
