Force the Sherman I: Screen Poetry

Just how wonderful
Is Hayao Miyazaki's
"Spirited Away"?



Filled to the brim with
Florid imagination
And joyous spirit

Chihiro is a
Brave and intelligent girl
In a strange new world

Haku will do all
He can to get her a job
With Ms. Yubaba

Little does she know
That Chira is in fact a
Bath house for the Gods

Yubaba changes
The little girl's name to Sen
New name but same girl

Many Adventures
with strange spirits as Sen grows
Back to Chihiro

Exuberance and
Great love is the story told
By Miyazaki

A master of the
Fine art of animation
Is Miyazaki

"Spirited Away"
Was so good that it inspired
Me to write haiku

Yours Until Hell Freezes Over,
