No Luck Today On My Mendicant Rounds Poem by Taigu Ryokan

No Luck Today On My Mendicant Rounds

Rating: 5.0


No luck today on my mendicant rounds;
From village to village I dragged myself.
At sunset I find myself with miles of mountains
between me and my hut.
The wind tears at my frail body,
And my little bowl looks so forlorn --
Yes this is my chosen path that guides me
Through disappointment and pain, cold and hunger.
