TO A POET

By: Prof. Naoshi Koriyama

Fog, alone, cannot stand
Sunshine, time, or wind.
Fog is to fade away,
Erased by sunshine,
Absorbed by time,
Or carried away by wind.

Dear poet,
Scoop up the fog-like feeling, then,
With your aspiring hands,
And roll it up
Into a round solid poem
Which can stand
Sunshine, time, or wind.
