something worth saying

red torii at miyajima

Have not tons of poets written

Of the stars, the sun, the moon?

Have not hundreds, thousands written

Of the wide blue sky at noon?

.

And do not ever more of them

Tell of passion, lovers pain?

Start in happiness and then

Turn to chaos, tears in vain?

.

Say, does every autumn poem

Mention fogg and rustling leaves?

Really, do not all of them

Bear some similarities?

.

Seems like all there was to say

Was long made into poetry

In a far mor pretty way

Than could be done by little me.

.

Therefore, pen, rest on the shelf

From this hand no more words shall flow

Till somewhere inside myself

There’s something for the world to know.
