Phantom Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 I recently found out while reading a cool book, that samurai of all kind, shishi, daimyo, hatomoto, all kinds, would compose a death poem for their ritual/battle deaths. Well, I wrote mine and its dedicated to my ex girlfriend. ================================== Love, As strong as hate. Hate, As strong as love. Both, Present and living, Overpowering, Equalibrium, How love and hate, Can both dwell upon one, How love and hate, Can both fester within me, Its beyond reason. ---====--======-=-=-=-------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinken Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 [I] I am to others A stranger compared to what I am to myself; My accomplishments Are all outsiders will see When I meet their glance. One's life, however, Cannot be accurately Measured in such ways. To be more precise, One must find within himself Fortitude and peace. The warrior's way is that of humility; The way of Shinken. [/I] If you know what "Shinken" means, you'll get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 1, 2003 Author Share Posted August 1, 2003 I dot know whatr shinken means but is it something like Bushido? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinken Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 It means "Believe Sword" or "Sword that Believes". Whaddya think of the poem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted August 2, 2003 Author Share Posted August 2, 2003 It is a traditional haiku death poem. I would love to be able to write haiku in Nihhonese but I just dont have the linquistic knowlege that would even take years being Japanese yourself to measurably understand well. As to your poem I like it and it expresses what you strive to make understood by all. Good all-around job. Now Shinken is a pretty good word but when you said "The warrior' way" I instantly though of Bushido. But shinken has its own distinctive power.. I like it.
