I am very thankful for the beautiful poems and photos by my poetry friend Bai Jiu. He planted lotus flowers in his backyard last summer. Everyday, he visited them, took photos, and wrote a poem. I followed him for two weeks, writing each poems with him. Here they are: twelve seven-character quatrains in Chinese metrical forms. I put them together and rearranged them. It reads like a love story, with a beginning,an ending, and plenty of drama. I hope you like it. With this collection of poems, I would also like to thank those who taught me writing quatrains poems and led me to a beautiful world of Chinese metrical poems.
Enjoying the lotus flowers and my poems while listening to this music will give you a multisensory experience ～～
【荷塘风月集】（12首平水韵七绝）
作者：天玉之
非常感谢诗坛诗友白九兄的原玉与美照。白九兄在家里后院种荷，经常发美照和美诗。
夏日写荷，倍觉凉爽。我一首首绝句跟着写，不知不觉写了那么多。放在一起，
像是个有趣的故事，有头有尾，也有小戏剧，愿你们喜欢。也顺便谢谢教我写
近体诗绝句的人，领我进入了另一种美妙的语境～～

【荷塘风月集】 （12首平水韵七绝）
文/天玉之
田田悄起一柔肠，裹紧荷芯不允香。细雨晴风郎笔墨，相思缕缕藕中藏。
情真君爱荷三夜，水月风华尽入帘。旦旦郎吟初相见：桃花从此不同天！
初心一簇玉真颜，留取清香且袅嬛。粒粒珍珠君待启，有丝苦芯掩中间。
纸上鸳鸯已数年，情天恨海韵千篇。祈来风静平塘月，梦里闻香夜里缠。
波中莲蕊有奇香，吐尽鱼泡肺腑肠。忽瞥岸边人影晃，哗啦掉尾蕸间藏。
芙蓉怎比草泥香，吐泡皆因嘴角凉。俺是河东鱼下惠，目不斜视捉虫忙。
飞翅那年绕荷嗡，香盈玉芯软凝瞳。今晨婷立塘中笑，粉袖轻舒不见虫。
曾是塘中颜最美，蝶亲风逐暖香偎。东君似遇乌云惹，失血莲花浅淡开。
骤來泥水搅塘清，雨打风摧十磅轻。祈得东君怜恣意，小红不负玉环名。
东君似遇乌云惹，失血莲花浅淡吟。雾散霄开斜日照，深情未忘玉初心。
小塘风雨回晴转，泥鳅青蛙水各澄，拂去花间几滴泪，随歌荡桨采甜菱。
一朵新荷几载开，翩翩玉蝶两厢呆。何期瓶中情方寸？山水池塘烟雨偎。
