"There's no time to rest.

Always a work in progress,

Always a regress.

If she could just catch her breath,

She'd have time to save who's left."

A character poem in the form of a tanka. I wrote for Dr. Holiday.

I'm super new to poems but I had alot of fun writing it. I love her so much.

Ono no Komachi, Part 1

I will be back with a longer post about Akemi's favorite poet, one of the 36 Poetry Immortals, as well as one of the six great waka poets of the Heian period, aka the Rokkasen.

🌲

So many, many things…

by the old rock, the pine is dreaming too…

its branches bend with a thousand years:

all the way down… till they meet the ground…
