JIYU-SHI Japanese Poem For The Contest

A chapter in the book One Thousand Cranes

~ Bevy of Doves ~

by Gypsy Blue Rose

JIYU-SHI - Japanese Poem Contest Winner 


Bevy of doves perched  
      on sweet wisteria boughs  


as cool spring rain drips
      o
ver the old man’s garden

where he sits daily  
      to reminisce about life 

and his sweet, Jasmine
      the love of his life, now dead
     
but not departed 

      she lives in fragrant flowers
 

the laughter of kids 
      and love in his beating heart
