Notes About The Poem

The idea here is to compare swords and other bladed weapons to how we humans grow up in life showing how great one becomes.

Wisdom of the Sword

Originally born as knives
short of length
long journey ahead
age comes by
out of the chrysalis come katanas
with sharper and longer blades
bigger handle
stronger steel and guard
along with elegance shown in its true form
and nobility as glorious as a king
