The bamboo east wind caused the cherry blossoms leap
to the lotus strewn arms of the cool koi lake.

On the dragon bridge stood the serpentine form
of a samurai warrior with katana long worn.

As the curled blossom fell, with bowed lowered face,
he acknowledged defeat to the cherry blossoms grace.

A real "Grinch" could not have written such a fine piece of grace and Oriental beauty.

an ethereal quality here, which suits the subject, well, gracefully.

You know I love what you do. And you know by now you can't argue me out of it.
