Hakuho, despite
young yokozuna, remains
the master sumo
he is different level -
thirty-seven bashos won
not only best now
but best of modern era -
few even compare
main event day ten facing
off one loss Takayasu
as if in epic
illustrations, the two locked,
pushed, held, and maintained
and yet Hakuho always
seemed to have control in hand
to beat the master
requires near perfection in
dohyo round confines
Hakuho’s circular stalking,
backwards lures - unparalleled
Takayasu proved
strong, yet eventually
was pushed out like child
Japanese sumo elders
may have Kisenosato
but Hakuho will
remain imposing figure
casting long shadow
east yokozuna number
one should have been Hakuho
to be listed fourth?
even after injury?
massive disrespect
ten days, Harumafuji
and Hakuho unbeaten
but Hakuho now
competes against history
more than other men
Hakuho won’t be denied;
this basho, year, or ever
