Analysis of Japanese Quartet
NIGHT SCENE (Haiku)
The moon sets her sails
to navigate the night sky
with great majesty
Stars twinkle and shine
in a deep velvet backdrop
as dreamers dream on
*** *** *** ***
MAN IN THE MOON (Dodoitsu)
The man in the moon told me
heaven is often just a
heartbeat away for dreamers
who knock on love's door
*** *** *** ***
YOUR SMILE (Senryu)
Warm and welcoming —
your smile brightens up my day
like the summer sun
*** *** *** ***
OUR LOVE (Tanka)
Seasons come and go
but our love remains constant —
no matter the clime
our love will travel with us
wherever we choose to go
