A poem for today. With a title. Woo hoo!
Melinda
She bundles her secrets
In the folds of her kimono
And follows her origami dreams,
On swallows’ wings,
Through pagodas that reek
Of wisdom and sushi.
The computer-age samurai
Examine this occidental geisha
Over cups of tea
And chopsticks heavy with rice,
Fingers itching to loosen her obi
And unravel her mystery.
Conjures up images of Kyoto in my mind.
ReplyDeleteIt's about an exchange student in Japan. So Kyoto works. Thanks for stopping by.
