A respectful inhumation

This poem has five elegant stanzas of haiku. The honourable poet, Lin Po, composed it after respectfully inhuming the leader of a small merchant family in HungHung. Sneaking like tiger Along streets and through alleys The town its jungle

Knife at the ready Creeping slowly through the night The ninja draws near

Pink cherry blossom Life like full bloom of springtime Winter approaches

Unknown to target The ninja in the shadows Preparing to throw

A glint of steel Marks most honourable end Petals blow away
