Buried Secrets

where the seagull dies stringless origami cries loneliness of soul koi fish suffocate colors fade in Bonsai trees island in distress words not understood shadows grin tricks on rice walls tsunamis in eyes geisha of the world love is lost in illusions freedom is her dream men with cold fingers whither blossom of her spring harakiri end in the seagull's grave origami secrets kept chicks learn how to fly www.scripca.com

Imi place ca ai folosit cuvinte din cultura japoneza:origami, Bonsai, geisha, harakiri. Si eu sunt pasionata de cultura lor si chiar fac cursuri de limba japoneza de un an(stiu sa scriu si sa citesc cat de cat). O poezie foarte frumoasa si trista, in acelasi timp. Mult succes in concurs, draga Iolanda. Cu drag, Emilia:)
