Over at D'Verse they're hosting their FormForAll and this week the prompt deals with the connection between classical Chinese and Japanese poetry. Blue Flute guest posted a tremendous write-up and asked us to compose a piece using tangible imagery. I did my best here, and not entirely sure how this piece came to be, as I started writing about fluffy yellow rabbits, easter-eggs and green straw and then somehow this disturbing piece of the uncaring/unseeing eyes of society, ignorant to those desperately in need of help. Quite frankly, not sure if I should be concerned or not.
Also, side-note here, I think I fixed the word-verification thing that I guess somehow appeared at my site. So, if someone could just drop a yes or no in with their comment, if, in-fact, it has been pulled. Thanks
