Japanese Prints

Japan An old courtyard Hidden awayIn the afternoon.Grey walks,Mossy stones,Copper carp swimming lazily,And beyond,A faint toneless hissing echo of rain That tears at my heart. John Gould Fletcher offers a brief history of Japanese poetry, as well as a short, yet vivid, compilation of his own Japanese-inspired poems. (summary by John N. Daily)
