Kanshi Poem for the Japanese Poetry Club Event

A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

Ethereal Clouds

If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes


Ethereal cotton-clouds 
      can hide the midday moon 
      amidst the cerulean blue sky.

Earth could lose its axis 
      crying crystal tears 
      meant to be diamonds. 

But the flames of our love 
      will never turn to embers.




 




KANSHI are poetic works by Japanese poets written in classical Chinese during the Tang Dynasty in the Heian Era (794-1185), Chinese was the language of courts in Japan. Kanshi was practiced and enjoyed only by aristocrats. Though Japan went through a few different political systems, the form remained popular throughout Japanese history, especially among academics and intellectuals. The KANSHI FORM is written in 5 to 7 syllables and 4 to 8 lines more info from wikipedia -- more info from simplyhaiku.com -- the HaikuFoundation.org
