My name is Tai
I am a guy
And work as an spy

But she wore her 
Samurai sword

The petals dance graceful,
While Ninja are disgraceful
Samurai brings honor
While evil brings dishonor
The ramen is an original
As the American ramen is bad
as destruction may fall upon us
The sakura petals will still descend gracefully...

Limerick: Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo

Once a fierce Samurai from Xi Ban Guo
Displayed his sword-play in a tornado
But his sword slipped hands
And entered his ampersands*
So now he limps about incognito.

delicate blossom
rests in the still gnarled hand
bruised petals weep tears

weary eyes open
tiny cuts, the body bleeds
peace still years away

sun rise breaks the hill
heralds another battle
draw your sword and charge

A Nordic says "God lives in Asgard"

A Jew says "God lives in Heaven"

A Mayan says "God lives in the 13 Heavens"

A Samurai says "God lives in the Katana sword"

which abode do you think he would say?...

Ichiro, where did you go?
In Japan, we miss you so.
In our nation, we liked you a lot.
What does Seattle have that we haven’t got?
You thrill the crowd each time you get a hit.
The man shows the true samurai spirit.
Please Ichiro, say you will not stay.
Come back to our country right away....

A samurai's life... 
It has mysteries untold
And lots to unfold
Raging storms
Distorted forms

A samurai is one that is just
Not fighting to avenge
But to defend

Why do the nations rage?
Why is there reproach?
A samurai once I was
One that proclaimed peace
And set the nations at ease...

,Center>The streets are ridge-backed and growling.
City lights glare like outflanked samurai.
Your thin hand dices words
into sideswipes.
Whiskey blooms in your orchid mouth.
I am led to where a lust
is armored, and snorting to be free.
Stories groom our hungers.
The night camps
in a small neon room....

Roses suffuse tired eyes with blooms,
serrated thorns, currently pruned
her depleted heart beats double time,
delicate, childlike, state of mind

cries red petals divulging pain,
stepping outside historic chains
raises noble sword in warrior stance ~
fights for justice, divine truth dance....

The streets are ridge-backed and growling.
City lights glare like outflanked samurai.
Your thin lips dice words,
sideswipe wanton desire,
hints of release measure my mind.
Whiskey blooms in your orchid mouth.
I am led to where a lust
is snorting to be free.
Warm winds groom stray hungers.
A room behind the neon
beckons....
