Japan's Favorite Type of Poem
The wind blows outside
Scattering dry leaves around
Up into the sky
Fly on silky wings
To far lands of love and peace
Sweet freedom, hard price
In the dark night sky
The glowing moon shines brightly
Down on sleeping heads
A dog growls blindly
A small thief stops stealthily
Dreading his parents
Bright butterfly wings
Carry my hopes to the sky
Float on gentle winds
Raging storms, dark clouds
Flashing lightning strikes dead trees
Lighting them on fire
Don’t blame your family
To try to help you they say
Shocking things sometimes
Punch, kick, strike back hard
Don’t get hit, you won’t get back up
You’re fighting for life
Pretty little girl
Rosy cheeks, bright eyes, soft hair
Stay young, as life’s hard
So many faces
Flash by in crazy blur
Welcome to the city
Handmade patchwork quilts
Cover a sick little boy
Pray he’ll get better
If God carries you
In times where you are troubled
Where are His footprints?
