农 家 六 言
插 秧 已 盖 田 面

黄 犊 归 时 夕 阳。

Shu miao you dou shui guang.

Bai ou fei chu ji pu
Huang du gui shi xi yang.

 

Farming Household Poem Using Six-Word Lines

Spaces between these sprouts create a smooth and aquatic scenery.

White seagulls fly far away to reach the river mouth
Yellow ox calves return home during the sunset.
