Irish poet John W. Sexton and Japanese poetess Maki Starfield had a poetic dialogue on "butterflies".
The butterfly is a symbolic of liberty of life, and they contributed poems in subtitles "The fate of butterflies" "The fight of butterflies" " by John W. Sexton, and "The daance of butterflies""The dream of butterflies" by Maki Starfield.
They projected their the other self freely and let them wing. And the struggle in real situation, they are not so weak but rather strong with ambition and aspiration. The style of poems including haiku are fantastic.
Elephant Riding
I experienced elephant riding in Thailand for the first time
Raising his nose, the elephant opened the sweaty nose widely
Just before I was about to leave
I put the money in the nostrils at once.
The elephant took it and handed it to his master.
Obeying him, the elephant just carried the next customer
and started walking out
Held by the reins by his master
The elephant doesn’t think about running away from him
Goodbye
This is the first time I met him, and I should think I will not meet him again
But I don’t need any kiss from him
Goodbye
