Topic: "Tsundoku"

Note: The first stanza is to be read horizontally, left to right. The second stanza is to be read vertically, right to left. If you're not keen on this, I've posted the poem as plain text in the first comment on this post.

it sated itself with unlatching nodes fromunkempt tufts

I skipped the deciphering, but noticed the increasing size of each letter unit going along (a neat form!)THAT must have taken some time to work out, to make sure you progressed through the letter lengths correctly.

And then the content of the two stanzas-- such a vivid picture of a horrible weather event in the first, and so much wordplay in the second! kakis, koi, kicking askew a katsura.
This is word art in both the literal and lyrical sense. :)
