My Japanese Heaven
by David Pekrul
copyright 02-01-2006


Age Rating: 10 to 127

  My Japanese Heaven
Picture Credits: http://www.davidpekrul.com

Picture drawn by my mother when she was 15 years old

She wears a red kimono with golden threads,
And kneels on the floor,
Serving tea in small porcelain cups,
My Geisha of the night.

Her ebony hair is tied in the back,
And adorned with Lotus flowers and silk.
Her skin is like ivory and her lips like crimson,
My Oriental angel.

In a language I don't understand,
She speaks to my soul,
Lifting my spirits as a mist over Mount Fuji,
My Empress of the East.

And I bow in humility and gratitude,
Thankful to be in this Shangri-La,
And lost in this dream,
My Japanese heaven.

I am really interested in the Japanese way of life. Their customs are very different than that of an American's.I'd love to travel to Japan!It would be so cool to be in a different environment. You described the appearance of a Japanese girl perfectly- very lovely and in tune with nature and the ancient arts. Hair as black as night, skin as soft as a feather, lips the color of a rose, yet you didn't mention feet small enough to fit in a man's hands.

David: I can sense the exciting and exotic lure you've written into the poem...it's the mysteries and beauty of the East. You've capture the essence in just a few, meaningful words. The imagery is remarkable because it reflects the drawing by your mother. It's wonderful that you are able to have a memento from your mother's younger days!

I rather enjoyed this. The flow and imagry if this piece makes it really enjoyable. I must agree with Willam, the way you have this written does make it seem like it was translated from Japanese, and I like it! ^.^

I enjoyed the flow of the poem and the sucessful mix of imagery. The style of writing almost suggests that it was translated from Japanese. The picture is quite like what the poem would look like. Very well done. (free verse with a nice rhythym to the lines).
