Ceramic vessels of rose hip oil -

hindrances to the bamboo shrine -

turn the town of murk and mud

into a scene of optimism, of one

that retains its soft-skinned youth.


And the passengers of each caravan

sense the spiritual force they bring -

the oil, the pastel urns of spring,

the metal chimes that lure bathers

from their shoji-walled homes.
It took me a while to write this, as I had many images in my head that I wanted to incorporate. But here we go. I hope you enjoy! Pixel Rose

Its a well written poem, to be honest. I like it - I didn't fully comprehend the imagery as is, but I think that you've done a decent job with the imagery in this one, so I'll give you kudos for making me think and ponder about what this poem yearns to imply with its contents and themes. Its an overall, really good poem :) Well done. :thumbsup: Keep writing.
