…POETRY…FIRST SNOW…CRYSTALS IN THINE HANDS… WELL,.. SHIRO’s ANYWAY. FIRST SNOW… Turn my palm over…so…it’s SNOWING… and Shiro is joyfully chilled it seems. An Aussie NINPO student… seeing snow… first time… whilst training in japan with ninja indeed.
FIRST SNOW…
A chilly joy that grips me so-
lost in emotions of pure delight.
Turn my palm over , watching the sight-
feeling such awe in the chill
of Japan’s long winter-night.
Snowflakes gather ,
caught ,
cupped in my hand-
more and more take a place,..
playing their chilly part.

…SNOW ANGEL KUNOICHI… USHERING IN THE… WATERY CHILL… OF 1962… THE YEAR OF THE TIGER IT SEEMS INDEED.
So cold on the skin – i smile.
I watch too – so warm now, in my heart.
