All About Japan A feather plummets slacks downwards, a sparrowhawk caught prey soars upwards, bonsai trees grow its shadow midst sunrise, cherry blossoms shade a path, sugis eclipse a shrine, maguro (tuna) swims the deep ocean, unagi (eel) curves nearby Mount Fuji, tako (octopus) struts whilst in motion, fugu (pufferfish) deadly still, yummy, pink perianths float touch air then dabbles a creek ~clear blue spills cherries 2020 September 20 *1st Place* Writing Challenge - Nature, Four in One ~~Constance La France

Japan would be number 2 on my list of places to visit, and your imagery and Japanese translations make it even more appealing. I was going to wish you well in the contest, but that's not necessary now that I see you've captured a first place. Nicely written, William.
