Immersing the Reader Via Imagery Part 2

A rewrite of Geezer's poem (imagery Workshop 2)

Like a newly coined cent
sun rises in the yellowish sky
I know why, the Japanese have lent
Godhead to the angry eye

It sizzles, burns the dulling brain
to a spot
In the sleeping forest it rains
on the islands of the Nippon

Glorious warmth now is born
spreads a shy timid-light
night now has fled
leaves damp tracks on the lawn

The taste of green is folded
wrapped in scented leaves
Steamed in the light of teacup
while shadows are fearful thieves

the elder trees and grass
share in the newly born light
Crane and dragon shadows pass
Silhouettes are as black as night

Berry blossoms bloom
in the land of the rising sun
Night gives daylight room
and now the dream is done

for someone not used to doing rhyme. You kept the tone of the work and did well with your own descriptive words. ~Geezer.

Its hard to take half a poem and add imagery when you are not in the head of the poet.

I think having the original made it a bit possible to be done though yeh it wasn't so easy to do it.
Thank you for your kind visit

This was a difficult poem to grasp to begin with so trying to add back deleted imagery was not an easy thing to do. But you did well.
