Gnarled Willow


without leaves
the Japanese willow
- gnarled

deshabillé
basking in the autumn sun
gnarled geisha

This is what Chèvrefeuille says about Kanshicho Kanshi:

Kan -> means: perception, expression

Shi -> means extravagance, pride, poetry

Cho -> means frivolity, number, butterfly

Kanshi -> means Chinese poetry

As I place those meanings together than Kanshicho means:

A poem in the Chinese way that expresses the extravagance and pride of the poet with the frivolity of the flight of a butterfly.
