sun wukong




sun wu kong
born of Immortal egg
in Immortal Stone
It cracked, split
emerging Monkey  
simple monkey smiling
laughing clutching cheeks
grabbing hair ear tails?  tail

Grew he becaたme monkey King
Sun Wukong Monkey King
King of the monkey troupe
swimming swinging swaying
fruiting frolicsome feasting
He left
on a skiff
Across seas
ten years
cametoaclilfF
jumpingjumping Somersaulting
even dancing?
encountered singsong
a woodcutter cutting wood
You tell immortal tales please tell the Immortal his Way?
Take this trail for it may tell
Deep into the woody thickets

Hoppingskipping twirling
Onto an Immortal way?
Ah tis you! Oh Immortal
Ten Years
Ten Seas Thousand li
I search

The Immortal was not displeased to see such comical monkey
Come here and tell your tale

The Immortal stood
Sun Wu Kong
so be this name for you
a reduction from twelve

Broad Knowledge That Is Born of The Sea And Intelligent Rounded Awareness
