Toshie Nohara Poems

'Please take our picture'
Italy's Pisa Tower
Leaning poise.
...

praying mantis
on the grass this fine Sunday
church bell is ringing
...

In hundreds of ways
Our family says

'Dad, you are our hero
...

Of all pet animals
Wondered why dad bought for
us a baby porcupine!
Instead of a cat
...

To awake in the morning
Alarm clock is the norm most
people rely upon
But grandma at seventy
...

It's not Romance on the High Seas
Theirs was on a romantic Summer night
When the moon was shining so bright
As they walked hand in hand with ease
...

Can't believe it.
I won a motor scooter- a Yamaha Pasola!
My five dollar
ticket was a wonderful
...

To be faithful to yourself is
more important than to be successful
for success's sake
For what is instant success when
...

Grandma likes your lovely name
Your father claims
'Nami means Southern Beauty'
Your black eyes so lively
...

From Japan to Calgary
We have fun at our gathering
With open arms we welcome you
To our humble home
...
