Kanshi Poem
One Thousand Cranes
:
The Cotton Candy Clouds

|
Sweetie pie child of mine
don't go chasing rainbows
and cotton candy clouds.
You lost your mother's hand
at the churchgoers' crowd
but an angel saw your tears
and took you all the way home.

Author Notes
Inspired by a personal experience. I got lost in the crowd after church and a nice lady took me to my home. I was lucky to find a good person, she was my angel.
FORM IS WRITTEN IN 5 to 7 SYLLABLES AND 4 to 8 LINES. Japanese poets wrote 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 at the beginning but has remained popular throughout Japanese history, especially among academics and intellectuals. more info from wikipedia -- more info from simplyhaiku.com -- the HaikuFoundation.org
Thank you very much for reading and reviewing my poem.
