Ken-po Goku-I Haiku

good bottles ~~~

to serve

of the highest purpose

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

wholehearted ~~~

like heaven and earth

so is one’s heart isshinryu 

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

pathways ~~~

sun and moon circle earth

so man’s blood similarly 

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

to drink ~~~

the hard and the soft

similar to drinking and spitting

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

balance ~~~

as a heavy weight

one either falls or not

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

change ~~~

a person’s flexibility to whim

is determined to the ability of change

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

to strike ~~~

presented opportunities 

respond accordingly 

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

eyes ~~~

all sides

in multi-directional ways

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

ears ~~~

multi-directional ways

actively listening 👂 

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow

tactile sensing ~~~

to grasp what is

neither seen nor heard

        ~~~ Pheyelow Bashow
