次韵叶中甫见寄
叶公与我皆奇士，骨相崚嶒气雄伟。
当年湖海屡相逢，酒酣击剑秋风起。
结交落落青云宾，谈笑相过无俗轨。
潜心不复事诗书，要取功名侯万里。
谁知白发成两翁，此意萧条今已矣。
忽然寄诗来问安，历说旧游情愈美。
况遭世乱多变迁，富贵荣华如覆水。
嗟余独抱寒苦调，只有豪吟差可拟。
结庐幸喜近清溪，剩种桃花红蕊蕊。
约君待向春水肥，共驾扁舟钓鲂鲤。
You and I are both men of strange interests, with strong characters and grandiose ambitions.
We often met on the lakes and seas, drinking heartily and wielding swords as the autumn wind blew. We made friends with extraordinary minds and talked without vulgarities. We were not interested in books and poems, but wanted to achieve fame and honor thousands of miles away.
Who would have known that we would become two old men with grey hair? This feeling of desolation is now inevitable. Suddenly, you sent me a poem to ask after my well-being, reminiscing about our past adventures together. However, the world has experienced much turbulence and change since then. Wealth and honor are like water spilled, no longer attainable.
I hold a bitter tune in my heart, which can only be approximated by a heroic poem. I am fortunate to have built my house near a clear stream, where I plant peach trees and watch their red flowers bloom. I invite you to come when the spring water is abundant, and together we will fish for carp in our small boats.
《次韵叶中甫见寄》这首诗，字里行间洋溢着诗人与友人叶中甫之间深厚的情谊以及对过往岁月的深切怀念，读来令人动容。
开篇“叶公与我皆奇士，骨相崚嶒气雄伟”，诗人以豪迈之笔，自喻与叶公皆为不凡之士，骨相奇特，气概雄伟，奠定了全诗的高昂基调。这不仅是对友人的高度评价，也是对自己志向与才情的自信展现。
紧接着，“当年湖海屡相逢，酒酣击剑秋风起”，回忆起往昔，两人常在江湖间相遇，酒兴正酣时，挥剑起舞，秋风萧瑟中更添几分壮志豪情。这一幕幕场景，生动描绘了诗人与叶中甫之间那份超脱世俗、志同道合的情谊。
“结交落落青云宾，谈笑相过无俗轨”，进一步说明他们交往的圈子高雅脱俗，言谈笑语间毫无凡尘之气，展现了他们追求高尚情操，不屑流俗的生活态度。
然而，“潜心不复事诗书，要取功名侯万里”，透露出一种转变，即从沉浸在诗书之中转向追求更广阔的功名之路，渴望建立边疆功勋，显示出诗人心中那份不甘平庸，渴望建功立业的壮志。
岁月流转，“谁知白发成两翁，此意萧条今已矣”，转眼间，两人都已白发苍苍，当年的豪情壮志似乎已成过往云烟，流露出一丝无奈与感慨。但这份情感的流露，并未让友情褪色，反而更加珍贵。
“忽然寄诗来问安，历说旧游情愈美”，叶中甫的一封来信，如同春风拂面，不仅问候安好，更勾起无数往日的美好回忆，情感愈发醇厚。
世事无常，“况遭世乱多变迁，富贵荣华如覆水”，诗人感慨时局动荡，世事多变，曾经的富贵荣华转瞬即逝，如同覆水难收，更显得友情之可贵。
在这样的背景下，“嗟余独抱寒苦调，只有豪吟差可拟”，诗人自伤怀抱，虽身处逆境，但仍以豪迈之诗抒发情怀，成为心灵的慰藉。
最后，“结庐幸喜近清溪，剩种桃花红蕊蕊。约君待向春水肥，共驾扁舟钓鲂鲤。”诗人笔锋一转，描绘了一幅宁静美好的田园生活图景，并邀请叶中甫待到春水丰盈之时，一同泛舟垂钓，享受那份超脱尘世的宁静与自由，表达了对未来相聚的美好憧憬。
整首诗情感真挚，意境深远，既有对往昔豪情壮志的追忆，也有对现实无奈的感慨，更有对友情深厚的珍视与对未来相聚的期待，读来令人回味无穷。
