Ethereal cotton-clouds
can hide the midday moon
amidst the cerulean blue sky.
Earth could lose its axis
crying crystal tears
meant to be diamonds.
But the flames of our love
will never turn to embers.

Author Notes
KANSHI are poetic works by Japanese poets written in classical Chinese during the Tang Dynasty in the Heian Era (794-1185), Chinese was the language of courts in Japan. Kanshi was practiced and enjoyed only by aristocrats. Though Japan went through a few different political systems, the form remained popular throughout Japanese history, especially among academics and intellectuals. The KANSHI FORM is written in 5 to 7 syllables and 4 to 8 lines more info from wikipedia -- more info from simplyhaiku.com -- the HaikuFoundation.org
