Lyrics Samurai Sword - Bill Thwing

Haiku poetry
Is more than just an art form
It's a two-edged sword

This well-designed tool
Can be used in many ways
Paring knife for life

Arrow to the heart
An art-form in-its-self
Not a mindless fart
Not a mindless fart

A love-making tool
Perhaps a three-legged stool
Errand boy for fools

Basho and Buson
Painted life with art and words
Coloring our world

Studying them both
I've learned to look deep within
Connecting the dots

The art of haiku
Must be learned from one's teacher
Links in a long chain
Links in a long chain

Life is a puzzle
Requiring great attention
Answers soon will come

Life is a puzzle
Requiring great attention
Answers soon will come

Haiku poetry
Is more than just an art form
It's a two-edged sword
