Choshi...you finally made me go look up Waka poetry... and I'm glad I did. http://www.shef.ac.uk/japan2001/introduction.shtml I'll probably find myself reinking my pen, just to give this a go... I've so enjoyed yours. Thank you. |

Such heat-withered grass remains still in this parched field seemingly lifeless-- Where is there any respite for a heart scorched by passion? Such sweet respite, for hearts scorched by passion beneath the pines- on a bed of cool moss in the stillness of midday. ````````````````````````````````````` Skyclad embrace Sheltered only by sunlight and shadowed needles, Pine fingertips weaving a cool bed for passion's rest |

Skyclad embrace Sheltered only by sunlight and shadowed needles, Pine fingertips weaving a cool bed for passion's rest Oh my Dawn, Your imagery and passion has me momentarily speechless...... ~P |
