回文诗

Recommended Posts

Anybody know this any poems like this? I will start off first with one.

枯 眼 望 遥 山 隔 水 , 往 来 曾 见 几 心 知 。 壶 空 怕 酌 一 杯 酒 , 笔 下 难 成 和 韵 诗 。 迷 路 阻 人 离 别 久 , 讯 音 无 雁 寄 回 迟 。 孤 灯 夜 守 长 寥 寂 , 夫 忆 妻 兮 父 忆 儿 。

回文诗 are poems you can read backwards. Try reading the above poem from the last word! :clap:clap:clap

I just searched some, have a look.

之一

    

    溪清照影竹枝横,草与花香润古城。

    堤覆白沙笼月晓,翠沾新柳弄烟轻。

    低帘绣阁红窗静,小笠青蓑绿野耕。

    泥燕紫衔香句好,题诗带雨听春莺。

    莺春听雨带诗题,好句香衔紫燕泥。

    耕野绿蓑青笠小,静窗红阁绣帘低。

    轻烟弄柳新沾翠,晓月笼沙白覆堤。

    城古润香花与草,横枝竹影照清溪。

之二

    

    邻西近接半斜街,柳映窗明月映阶。

    春阁暖分浓绿酒,绣楼红破踏青鞋。

    新花菜似深黄蝶,翠柄兰如小碧钗。

    人病久愁红尽落,心伤夜雨葬香骸。

    骸香葬雨夜伤心,落尽红愁久病人。

    钗碧小如兰柄翠,蝶黄深似菜花新。

    鞋青踏破红楼绣,酒绿浓分暖阁春。

    阶映月明窗映柳,街斜半接近西邻。

之三

  

  油油绿草远含烟,好景春晴乍雨天。

  流水浅浮花片片,碧山遥爱影娟娟。

  鸥盟欲罢看云卧,蝶梦将残听雨眠。

  愁买半湖春酒绿,柔荷嫩叶细如钱。

  钱如细叶嫩荷柔,绿酒春湖半买愁。

  眠雨听残将梦蝶,卧云看罢欲盟鸥。

  娟娟影爱遥山碧,片片花浮浅水流。

  天雨乍晴春景好,烟含远草绿油油。

回文诗 are actually poems which you can read both forwards and backwards, it's actually two poems in one, where when you write the first poem backwards, you'd get the new poem with a totally different meaning, something I'd like to term "palindrome poems". As one poem as a whole it's given originality.

The most famous "palindrome poem" is from the Song dynasty by Li Yu:

回文诗中最有名的是宋代李禺写的《夫妻互忆回文诗》。

This poem from which you have the first poem written, is written in the Song dynasty [960-1279]:

夫妻相思 also either called 《两相思》 or 《夫妻互忆回文诗》when the following two poems are read as one.

written by: Li Yu from Song dynasty: 宋朝.李禺

夫想妻(顺读: read forward)also called 思妻诗

枯眼望遥山隔水,往来曾见几心知。

壶空怕酌一杯酒,笔下难成和韵诗。

途路阻人离别久,讯音无雁寄回迟。

孤灯夜守长寥寂,夫忆妻兮父忆儿。

妻想夫(倒读: the above poem read backwards) also called 思夫诗

儿忆父兮妻忆夫,寂寥长守夜灯孤。

迟回寄雁无音讯,久别离人阻路途。

诗韵和成难下笔, 酒杯一酌怕空壶。

知心几见曾来往,水隔山遥望眼枯。
