Meager
I may have written;
A thousand flowery words.
All of them fell short,
Paltry, meager rendition;
Of such beauty that is you.
Words were never enough.

Refreshing Day (Tanka #53)
Beautiful sunshine
Birds chattering everywhere.
Herd of cows grazing
Fresh green grass over, meadows
Slow drizzles, dark lumpy clouds

Ambience (Tanka #52)
Sipping tea in porch
Cool breeze, temperature falls
Crescent moon sailing
Birds in the vermilion sky
Sun sets in the peacful realm

Night Approaches (Tanka)
Deep in the mountains
In the still of the evening
Daylight is waning

A whippoorwill casts whispers
To the sunlight’s vast shadows

redolence
tender the longing
of days gone
unforgotten.
what luck that all that goes
returns in altered form.

Riders (Tanka #51)
Horses galloping,
riders whistling a known song.
Watching their ride style
Dogs barking, with awful tune,
Sun sets in the horizon.

Morning (Tanka #50)
Heavy dews shine out
A snail sailing on a log
Morning rays to peak
Mr. Sun is up, smiling bright
Greetings to everyone here

Mortality (Tanka)
Seeing the abyss
In the chill of the evening
The rain’s pouring down

Spinning around in the night
Waiting for darkness or light

New Love, Missing Piece - Tanka
Unscathed new love
that flourished throughout,
yet no sense of direction,
but were both willing to
figure out the missing puzzle piece.

Painted Love - Tanka
As it was our last goodbye,
I tried wiping away the canvas
you had drawn,
but I was never so forgetful
with true love.
