I once wrote a poem about Japan

In the poem, I spoke of:
I wanted to go to Japan,
But I lost my wallet.

In the homeland of "Thousand Cranes,"
My first touch
With that remarkable
Book, I felt.

I wanted to go to Japan,
To see the rustling of kimonos.

But I lost my wallet.

I was going in the spring, to
Feel the scent of sakura.

Interesting, to find a poem set in "the land of the rising sun". Whilst many more references to Japan, could have been made; the writer has kept to features which she can relate to (in some kind of way). I vaguely remember hearing about the book title, mentioned here; but never enquired what it's about. However, it almost seems as if the writer's fondness for that book; has made her feel a close affinity with that country. Sadly, she lost her wallet; so the journey wasn't affordable. If only! But, at least; it didn't put her off from posting this brief and mysterious piece of writing. I got the impression too, that reading that "remarkable" book; probably inspired her to find out more about Japan. But, only the writer knows for sure; as I sometimes say. Keep writing..!
