Hello, Connie....always so very nice to see you visiting once more. :) As for the Japanese poetry: after writing a short poem, trying to emulate the Chinese poetic style, as a tribute to Li Wenliang, Andrea (Dietrich -- who else!) who had read it through commented that, after some editing, it would lend itself very well to the Japanese art form; after reading her comment I studied up on the works of some very famous Japanese poets...and these...well these are the results. Glad you found them worthy enough! My very warmest regards, Connie. Your friend. :) john
