Tokyo Touch Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi

Tokyo Touch

Rating: 4.3


(dedicated to people who love Tokyo)

harajuku
base ball
tea ceremony
cherry blossoms

shopping mecca
the neon lights
obsession
attraction

subway
whirlwind
another planet
underground world

The Yoyogi Park
the grassy areas
street performers
everyone ends up

the food stalls
dancers, artists
massive garden
traditional temples

east meets west
mixed district
the nightlife
Roppongi

the clubs
restaurants
bars, cafes
Tokyo Dome

powerful
modern
eclectic
fashion

Ginza Tower
Prada building
Boutiques Bulgari
Armani Ristorante

(inspired by Utada Hikaru's songs)

This pleasing poem is another of your fine tributes to Japan and Japanese culture which obviously arose from your recent trip to this impressive nation. You paint a vivid picture to the modern Japanese life in your well chosen words. Carl.
