Here’s a poem to feast on.  Happy Poetry Month!

Spring by Maeng Sa-Song (1417-1437)

 As spring enters this land of rivers and lakes,

without reason I feel mad delight.

In festive mood, a banquet is laid
    of freshly caught fish and country wines.

This body’s leisure is a debt
    we owe to our great king.
