Combined with the effective use of the zoom-in technique, the setting and tone of the poem conveys a subtle sense of loneliness.
ReplyDeleteYes, Chen-ou, an effective use of zoom-in. He may be alone, but I get the impression that the man on the porch is enjoying his own company, his thoughts unfurling just like the smoke from his pipe.
