New Daily-ish "Feature"

I realized as I unpacked my things and set everything in its place that I am a weird guy. On that note, I'm introducing a new daily (as much as possible) post. I have a great little book entitled "One Hundred Poems From The Japanese". The interesting thing about the anthology is that it specifically avoids haiku in order to show the breadth of Japanese poetry. Hopefully some of you will appreciate the simplicity as much as I have. With that:

I passed by the beach
At Tago and saw
The snow falling, pure white,
High on the peak of Fuji.

-Yambe no Akahito
