sensei wa sugoi
kare wa yūrei o ai
toryo no kami
His economy of line is breathtaking
yet in each stroke, such life!
When I watch him paint, I am like a child
That isn’t a tear in my eye
just too much beauty for my eye to hold
so it runs down my cheek
Thank you Alex! !
I was deeply moved by your haiku.
I will meet your expectations.
I train skills.
Ganbatte, sempai! I look forward to the fruits of your harvest
How kind of you to say. I’m not much of a poet…
I wish. My brushwork is pretty hit or miss
I see Albert’s answer. A great poem and I never would have guessed.
I’ve been following my sempai since Niume…
I remember him there as well… were we friends there??
Such a long time ago, I couldn’t say…
I’m hoping Virily will move from its English language bias. A worldwide platform should encourage expression from multiple corners of the world without cultural or linguistic chauvinism.
For myself, I don’t shy from using other languages where appropriate…
I’m sure he is Fuku-fuku!
You got it, bro! But nobody else would…
Since we both know him, then with just bit hint I can easily guess it.
I don’t think many others here know him. Which is a shame because @fukufuku is a brilliant artist!
He is not considered important to most friends here
Who are you talking about? I give you. The poem is excellent! Not sure what the Haiku is all about so translate please lol
It would suck in English. It probably sucks in Japanese but the person it is about would never say so because
a) he is too polite
b) he will never read it
Speak In English And Get Response Fast
to be fair, the haiku is a Japanese poem and the fellow I wrote it for is Japanese…
