Words used properly
are each a note of the symphony
most poignant they are--verily-
when weaved into the enchantment of poetry

I can' sing nor dance
for you-  I've no talent
only love you
I truly can-

I'm neither rich
nor handsome
no education had I
how can I ask for your hand?

Every young gallant man
across the entire land
to woo you will rush
with the most expensive diamond-

ah, poor me, I can't afford
to buy you even a tiny present
you'll never walk this my way
though from afar I can sense your sweetest scent

The self changes more
    than the world
    it's less settled -
    human nature---typical!

Say it once
if need be, twice
it begins to suffocate
if said thrice

Dutifulness

is more important than success

Learning
    without application
    is a dead-end

The greatest impediment
is not other people
but the notorious 'I'-
the mother of every trouble!
