Edge of Weather [Haiku]
Winter day:
bright sunlight at cloud's end --
glassy river.

“Down to Jiangling” [下江陵] by Li Bai [李 白]
I left Baidi amid ochre clouds --
Crossed a thousand li by day's end.
Monkeys howled and chased along each bank;
My skiff slipped past ten thousand mountains.
The original in Simplified Chinese:
朝辞白帝彩云间
千里江陵一日还
两岸猿声啼不住
轻舟已过万重山
Note: this is poem #269 of the 300 Tang Poems [唐詩三百首.]

Night in a River City [Haiku]
river city:
after dark, boats slip moorings
to glide silently.
