It was a custom in battle to tell your opponent who you are and where you come from and visa versa, before
attacking eachother. In this way, battles were a personal statement of your reputation; while also serving to
honor your opponent.
Thoughts of: Battle.
oooOooo
Trained for warfare; the thought of battle is never far from the warriors mind. Change was also hard to
counter.
Thoughts of: Future battles.
Oh times of peace
We long for the tanquility of war;
oooOooo
Like anyone visions of home held special place in the lives and thoughts of the samurai.
Thoughts of: Tenryu River.
Popularity and friendship ensured that in battle your back was covered from attack.
Thoughts of: Honored friends.

Take me to a battle;

Steadfast am I in Duty
Budding blossoms
Herald Spring. Winter's grasp is
broken; life begins
An Utaku tongue
Has other warmth to address
And better uses.
An unflinching eye
Surveys in perfect stillness
The dark skies below
A ship in emerald
Fallen from the sky too soon
Slowly floats away
The swaggering ox
Bravely fends off advances
From flittering dames
Flickering lanterns
Mark a road for the lady
To the rooster's praise
Tears of yestereve
Hoarded in the weaver's home
Dry beneath the lines
A final poem
I will plagiarize no more
After this last one
An ancient pond.
A frog jumps in.
The splash of water.
A humming whisper
Feathers blossoming in throats
Unseen, stinging death.
A song of arrows
Silences another song
And red flowers bloom?
Sometimes I wonder
So many beautiful Crane
But where are the men?
Dragon
Hidden in the clouds,
Ruler of high mountain-tops,
Source of mystery.
Scorpion
The sting comes quickly
When others dare to shed light
Upon their secrets.
Unicorn
Thunderous hoofbeats
That flatten all enemies
Leave allies behind.
a hundred small lives
in the shadow of the wall
cherry blossoms fall
"Heedless of honor,
the frivolous butterfly
sups with common blooms."
unseen enemies
in a mantle of white clouds
fog will be our death
Dragon Haiku

Brother of the wind,
Far above the land of life,
Shall I follow thee?
A Last Stand
by ~ATouchOfMadness
Steel rings in the air.
Broken swords and broken men.
Blood stains ancient ground.
Kenshinzen prepare.
A war is won with one strike.
A final meeting.
dragon rises up
a fire roars from the belly
poison escapes eye
A plum, fallen,
becomes a plum tree.
What, then, a dragon?
Fingertips grazing
where the circlet of lace meets
the soft warmth of skin

Heavenly torture
I smell you but can't touch you
Still I breathe you in...
by @Wingpoem
In my darkest hour
Love's warm illumination
a cosmic night-light
by @dragonheartsong
slow exploration.
I love how you blush when I
tell you what I want
by @urbancrafter
Rumble in my heart
Tumble in the dark with me
And may time stand still
by @Abeeliever
Tender caresses
cascading silky tresses
first Love, Life blesses
by @Tipperay
Display of force
Deceitful, cunning
Operating in darkness
On distant height
Shroud of mystery
