Feng Shui Haiku
By Mary Warner
Feng shui, wind-water
Artful arrangement brings luck
Clear clutter from space
Bagua is house map
Align to locate nine zones
Career near front door
Guas include Wealth, Fame,
Relationships, Family,
Helpful People, too
Continuing on . . .
Children, Career and Knowledge
Plus center for Health
Essential to find
Appropriate shape for gua
Right color key, too
Many tips guide fate
Ancient Chinese principles
Seem superstitious
Bounce chi with mirrors
Or crystals properly placed
Can fill missing gua
Red ribbons protect
Cutting chi slices energy
Hide toilet from view
Pair things to couple
Helpful people love silver
Three coins attract wealth
Focus fame through fire
Bells boost creativity
Place books for knowledge
Family needs plants
Find work with water and glass
Earth and fruit for health
Keep the chi flowing
When it gets stuck, no fretting
Just move things about.
