Revised sonnet #1307
Our bows in zazen under banyan boughs
Agility poise stamina and speed
Our kareteka starts on nods and vows
A move of hers made makes me move in heed
I parry kick I mustnt let emotion rouse
Ibuki carries her to sparring lead
I parry punch assured in kikken nous
I swing a foot as forceful fainted deed
And later see I her assume a role
The evil genie put inside its jar
Acknowledge what we were to what we are
Ourselves escape unscathed thats safe and whole
Immortality round the corner read
Its better bruises healed than very dead
Chorus read perused scanned
