~*~

Don’t look for her here,  

she’s gone like sweet summer breeze  

nothing left of her  

but faint sounds of bells  

and scented touch of nightshade.   

Gypsy caravan’s  

dusty track marks left behind  

for the curious yearning 

mystical magical touch  

 
 
 




"Gypsies are living poetry" - Karl Wiggins

KOJIKI is the oldest poetic form that dates back to 712. It's a compilation of poetic history and mythology passed on by mouth from generation to generation in the 8th century before written Japanese existed. The Kojiki is divided into three parts: upper 5/7/5 - middle 5/7/5 - lower 7/7/7 syllables count. it uses a kigo (seasonal reference) ; click here to see list of seasons ; wikipedia
