Listen to poem:
A man of ancient skills and tradition, Lived in a land of structured discipline, A balanced life with moral conviction, Daily vigilance maintains his routine, Rain wet Cherry Blossom tree now glisten. Rakes of stones crafts a serene rock garden, Sounds of snips of a Bonsai Tree are done, Grunts and shorten words as a sword swooshes, A Suzume bird now tweets when hearten Saimin ate and Haiku read, finishes.
