snow haiku by Lychee Hawks

***
White snow on the ground
Hides faults just like rice powder
Adorns woman's face.

***


White snow on the ground
Hides faults just like powder hides
An actor's true face.


***
a samurai's jisei

Blood on the white snow
Is like bright red lipcolor
On geisha's pale face!

***


Hasui Kawase, "Evening Snow, Edo River"

The second one is my favorite from these 3.
The Death poem is the death poem. Very good but dark.

Thanks!
I dunno, which one I like the best - the jisei, I guess... it was a very romantic samurai:)

I like the picture and the theme....

the first two are beautiufl and gives me instant inspiration to illustrate them.

The third is my favorite! You know how I love a good splash of blood.
