Since yesterday was Mother's Day, I've been wondering how many of you are mothers? All family is important. At least, I think so. But mothers...

[Considering she has lost her mother, Haruhi feels a lot of things about the day.]

It's special, isn't it? Not that being a father is easy. [She knows that from watching her Dad struggle all of these years.] But it's not Father's Day.

So...

Tell me about your mothers. And if you are a mother, I hope you're close to your children. Nothing can replace that bond.

[Uh oh, getting too serious again.]

Anyway, I know it's a little late, but let's celebrate.

Well... He lived a good life, I like to think. He became a poet, in addition to being a prince.

Poetry isn't easy to write. He must have been a talented, hard-working man.

He is considered one of the greatest poets of his era... though, no one can prove the prince and the poet were one in the same, given he used a fake name, but I know it's him. I can tell...

What is his name? Is he someone I could have heard about?

Re: [voice]

His real name was Prince Yamashiro. But his poet name was Sarumaru no Taifu.

Is he also known as Sarumaru no Dayū? If so, he was one of the Thirty Six Poetic Sages!

You... know of him?

[voice]

[haruhi_fujioka]

Not much - he is mysterious - but I do know his name and some of his works.

What era are you from, if I may ask?
