Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn which is completely 萧 desolate. The only thing there is a 丿 slide propped up against a 丨 rod that leads to a big pool of mud in front of the barn which contains a single solitary 萧 desolate 艹 flower. Xena, suddenly inspired, sits in that pool of mud next to the 艹 flower and uses a pen to write a 萧 desolate poem on a huge ハ fin about her 萧 desolate experience at this barn.
