on I Watch People In The World by Taigu Ryokan, on February 3, 2008I love Ryokan's poems because they seem so much like diary entries. He records what he knows and feels, and it's that honesty which makes him so great.

on To My Teacher by Taigu Ryokan, on February 3, 2008This gave me shivers. It reminds me so much of my grandpa, who passed away just over a year ago.

on At Dusk by Taigu Ryokan, on February 3, 2008Wow. That was stunningly beautiful. I love the imagery of the voices being soaked up by the maple leaves. I understood that to mean that since deer are such silent creatures, their sounds can be heard only through the nature that surrounds them.
I don't see any "adult themes" anyways? What is it? Communism? Smoking marijuana? Nudity? The word "fuck"? Queerness?
This is one of the most important poems our country has seen. It's important to both the history and the spirit of America. It's so sad that people under the age of 18 can't read it on this website. I don't understand that.
