Getayukata 112 Posted April 12, 2018 I've only just discovered this thread, and am really enjoying all the great poets that we have. Here is my entry: 1. This was written on first seeing the top of Mt Fuji clearly: Fuji san, are you So coy a cone, that oft you Clothe yourself in clouds 2. Written after a kanji writing lesson in a temple in Kyoto The monk chants a song My brush is full of black ink So many kanji! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bugman 361 Posted April 12, 2018 I like the idea of Mount Fuji as being a person, and also being shy :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
