Five Mystical Moments of the Tired Monk

i)

fists caught in swirling robes
stopper of thundering blows

ii)

blind forest walker
up and over stumps, roots and logs

iii)

slipping out unseen
from the worst scenes

iv)

riding heat lightning
over lake and field

v)

mystical brewer
of perfect coffee

  3. Neat piece - feels like old Japan, but with a contemporary flair.

  4. I feel very attached to your Tired Monk character. My favorite phrases here would be "fists caught in swirling robes/stopper of thundering blows", and also that bit about brewing perfect coffee.
