黄鸡啄蝎如啄黍,窗间守宫称蝎虎。
暗中缴尾伺飞虫,巧捷功夫在腰膂。
跂跂脉脉善缘壁,陋质从来谁比数。
今年岁旱号蜥蜴,狂走儿童闹歌舞。
能衔渠水作冰雹,便向蛟龙觅云雨。
守宫努力搏苍蝇,明年岁旱当求汝。
黄鸡啄蝎如啄黍,窗间守宫称蝎虎。
暗中缴尾伺飞虫,巧捷功夫在腰膂。
跂跂脉脉善缘壁,陋质从来谁比数。
今年岁旱号蜥蜴,狂走儿童闹歌舞。
能衔渠水作冰雹,便向蛟龙觅云雨。
守宫努力搏苍蝇,明年岁旱当求汝。
黄鸡啄食蝎子如同啄食黍米,
窗间的壁虎被称为蝎虎。
在暗处摆动尾巴伺机捕捉飞虫,
灵巧敏捷的功夫在于腰背之力。
它善于攀爬墙壁,匍匐前行,
这卑微的体质从来不被谁看重。
今年大旱,它被称作蜥蜴(祈雨之兆),
孩童们狂乱地歌舞喧闹。
它能衔来沟渠之水化作冰雹,
便去向蛟龙求取云雨。
壁虎啊,努力去捕捉苍蝇吧,
明年若再干旱,我们定当求你(显灵)。
The yellow hen pecks scorpions as if pecking millet,
The house lizard by the window is called the scorpion-tiger.
In the dark, it flicks its tail, waiting for flying insects,
Its skill and agility lie in its waist and spine.
Clinging and crawling, it adeptly scales the walls,
Its humble form has never been held in high regard.
This year of drought, it's hailed as the lizard,
With children running wild in song and dance.
It can carry ditch water to form hail,
Then seek the dragon for clouds and rain.
House lizard, strive to catch the flies,
Next year in drought, we shall turn to you.
观察微观世界的生存博弈,蕴含自然之道。
描绘窗间蝎虎捕食黄鸡啄蝎的有趣自然景象。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
