It was kinda fun looking for the poems.

In the end, I had to look at all 100 poems to figure out the exact ones. Hopefully I did not make a mistake.

In case anyone is interested, the translation of all hundred poems can be found here, courtesy of the University of Virginia:

I posed a question to Kevin whether more pens would be made along the same lines for the other poems.

I can imagine what pens would be like for some of the other poems.

The short answer is yes, but it will depends on artists' interpretation of the poem and put it in a graphic form, to make the poems come alive. I can't believe you go through all 100 poems. Thanks for the link.

Best,
