我到荒村无食啖

水国诗

水国不堪旱，斯民生甚微。
The country of water cannot withstand drought, and the people's lives are very difficult.

直至葭菼少，敢言鱼蟹肥。
Until the reeds become scarce, I dare to talk about abundance of fish and crabs.

我到荒村无食啖，对案又非梁谢览。
I arrived in a desolate village with nothing to eat, and there were no elegant poems or literature to read.

况是干苗结子疏，归时只得藜羹糁。
Moreover, the dry seedlings bear sparse fruits, and when I return, I can only have coarse porridge.

诗意和赏析：
这首诗词描写了一个水国经历旱灾之后，人民的生活十分艰难。作者通过描述葭菼（一种生于水边的植物）变得稀少，表达了水源减少的困境。在这样的环境下，人们对于鱼蟹的丰盛生活只敢说说，而自己却到了荒村没有食物可吃。诗中对于食物的描述很具象地展示了人们的贫困和食不果腹的状况，以及干苗子结得很少的困境。整首诗写实而朴素，表达了作者对于水国艰难处境的无奈和无力感。
