Hour 3: Aikido: a series of haiku for The Art of Peace

 

Aikido spirit,

the art of peace in chaos

for a world gone mad

 

Drawing up from earth

energy winds the body

taking out the slack

 

Hold the sword, extend

from your center, hips are square

body makes the cut

 

Spinning the fire

a powerful spirit moves

you beyond violence

 

Grabbing smoke, vanish

to fight is to lose your own

Aikido spirit
