Come one come all to have some fun
Share my trip to the land of rising sun
At the Narita airport stood my loving son
To receive his mother whom he has done
Proud as by hard work had won
A brief sojourn in a country that could stun
The world by rising like a pelican
From the ashes to create a heaven
Where tourists from all over run
As is wont of a tourist’s spree
I began with Tokyo’s sky tree
In Japan nothing is free
But an aerial view at levels three
Of Tokyo when seen you would agree
It is even better than New York’s OWTC
My aching feet chose to see
On a wheel chair the DIsney Sea
To relive the moments of the ancient marine
At Hiroshima’s bomb site the heart does bleed
For millions burnt alive by ruthless greed
For power and might of a typical breed
The museum chose rightfully to plead
The cause of peace, let us concede
To universal brotherhood and succeed
To unite and save the planet, being the need
Of the hour, for sans strife lays the seed
For love and expansion in word and deed
The snow festival and historical village were warm
In Hokaido, amidst the cold and the proverbial calm
Before an inclement snow storm
But still no one can stop the people swarm
To witness the artistic talent transform
The simple snow into unimaginable forms
To describe all the words do form
But stop short as they fail to inform
The actual experience since the creators perform
An unbelievable brainstorm
The mymoiwa winter stadium is a platform
For Olympic players fit and in full form
Mt. Fuji too was cold and did not conform
To my imagination of a seething fire storm
Of an active volcano and had to reform
Asakusa or miajima the shrines are serene
In nature’s lap amidst evergreen
A haven for one who is keen
To be closer to the Divine where only few have been
The entire country is clean and green
No dust, no pollution the best take away
From my memorable fortnight’s stay
Come one come all to share my trip to Japan
A country absolutely spic and span!
Across the horizon one may scan
An engineering marvel that no one can
Find a flaw in the foolproof plan
A deep yearning stirs more than
Ever that my country and my motherland
Too met such standards that one can
Be proud to be an integral part
Of constructive contribution to impart
A disciplined civic sense to remain smart
That toilet to temple all is state of art
Patriotism is to feel from the heart
