Bio Note: I'm a pedagogist and author. My Japanese-style poems were published in The Mainichi, Asahi Haikuist Network, The Japan Society UK and in many others international journals. Drawing, swimming and walking in nature is my passions. "I can, I must, I will do it", my motto.
All Around
A bad hand is almost tolerable, but not a bad foot. I couldn't even get through the front door, if my feet gave out. I rise into the full moon and watch the mirror stare. The stars dance and fly through the air until driven back by the bell's sound as night fades into dawn.
a frightened horse on a frozen lake… that anger
