Premium Member The Fish and the Rat
Assumed best in all people under sun, Generous with love, the Fish never done. Every true smile was his only desire; Never thought to be target of fire. Truth be told maybe some were just evil. Scurried around, these rats love upheaval. Assuaged by his anxiety, they bite… Marking him for continuing worse plight. Usurped generous crown, Rat is anointed. Radicals, through poison...

[Paraphrase-translation of the song from Lady Snowblood.] Bright dusk buried in snow Only the sound of a baying hound And my wooden geta break the silence I stride with the weight of Heaven on my mind I embrace these nights My paper umbrella is more than it seems I have walked this path of a woman's life But my tears will not again Damp...

Premium Member A Samurai Sandwich Please
“A Samurai sandwich please.” The waitress looked perplexed but took the order anyway because she did not want to ask. “Perfect!” the customer said. Three more times that month he came in for a sandpiper sandwich, a taffeta sandwich, and a typhoon sandwich. The waitress brought him the sandwich of the day all three times. “Exactly what I wanted!” he said. They began...

Ninja and Samurai
Warriors become philosophical black Assassins walk on water in fabric magic Boots move quicker than the wind Clearly invisible through vampire mirrors Void of color, empty of human images The night draws shapes on Ninja Lake Reflects back vivid in shards of ice Protecting natures shadowy body Secrets blend in with Winter Light objects gentle to the touch Become solid as spy machines Scramble into action Move...

Samurai Warrior's Master
Sound of a sad flute creeps around the temple, as the Katana sword slides away from its scabbard; it is slid with so much care; as though it is a five centuries-old Buddha’s statue. Its blade glitters in the ghostly Autumn full moon, fooling anyone to believe it hasn't slit any throat, belly, or chest. The Katana and the Samurai warrior are...

Premium Member The Paper Samurai
I wrote this to an illustration I created of this character. Origami the Paper Samurai, was intended to mimic 'Flat Stanley' and show solidarity among children and parents against bullying. I am everywhere you go And there is one thing you should know When you need me, I will be there That's no lie I'll fight for...
