gurdymonkeyA sprig of cherry
Reminds her of that meeting,
All smiles and poems.
Po Chu I sits on his shelf,
Flirting with Murasaki.
This one needs explaining to everyone who is not![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tatsushu. We had been acquainted on the Japanese lists for awhile, when business brought him to this part of the country. I invited him to visit. He appeared on my doorstep laden with a plastic container with a piece of barely budded cherry from his tree at home and a doll his lady had made for me, all with accompanying poems. When I took him to Japantown, he bought a couple of copies of Po's Selected Poems, then gave me one over lunch, since any court lady should have this classic text. When I glanced over my shoulder just now pondering the final two lines, I noticed that Po is nestled cozily beside the anthology A String of Flowers Untied.
