Bougainvillea winds,

twisting through rusted iron,

sad and worn by time.

Today is Monday

A first lovely day of spring

Flowers are blooming.

Spring rain drip, drop, tap

In the air cherry blossoms

Overcast all day

Shallow moon waves “hi”

Accompanied by the stars

The sun says “hello”

Summer rain

Is here to delay

Thinking of you everyday

An old apple tree,

An apple falls to the ground.

Left alone to rot.

Longing

This painful longing

Oh to be with you once more

What I would not give

Things that People Forget About When Writing Sword Fights

You don’t have to dodge by a foot. You only have to dodge by an inch.

Not all swords are made the same way. You wouldn’t fight with a katana the same way you would fight with a broadsword.

You don’t need to aim for the heart or the head. Get the vein in wrist, and you could incapacitate that hand.

Small cuts matter. If you’re cut up enough, you’re going to start suffering from blood loss, and that’ll put you at a disadvantage.

The blade isn’t the only thing that matters. There isn’t some set of rules in sword fighting where you can only stick the stabby end into the other person. Hit them in the head with the hilt, and they’ll feel it.

If there are multiple attackers, you want to incapacitate or kill each one as quickly as possible. Endurance matters, especially when you’re not only swinging/stabbing/aiming something that is 2-5 lbs (ceremonial ones were a lot heavier, but wouldn’t be generally fought with) but also taking/blocking heavy blows from at least one opponent.
