A while ago I was thinking of how to put Anime into poetry. So much - how to do it. I can appreciate your approach. I especially like the second stanza: big hair/ink brush//large eyes/caligraphy. My reading of Anime is not nearly as extensive as yours. I finally composed one poem choosing to try to portray just a short scene. See “Inuyasha”.

Ahmad, yes, you do have a distinct style of your own. Methinks you must be more than a man of words. Are you a diverse artist who dabbles in other fields of expression? Shall read more now...Carol
