Exceptional Jisei -- Tanka Pair and Haiku One Thousand Cranes : Winter Wind by Gypsy Blue Rose If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes

May winter winds  carry my ashes across  blue oceans and sky,  so when my children look for me,  they’ll find me in the clouds and seas. I’ll be shining  with the summer sun,  and with the harvest moon,  on dew dripping down  spring cherry blossoms.  Most of all, I’ll be in my children’s hearts,  till the end of time.   Recognized Author Notes Jisei is a poem written in zen style by the poet before their own death.
