Mist (Tanka #35)
The street light flickers
Every night at around 3am
I seem to wake up
Around the same time daily
To witness the dense mist crawl

Glacier (Tanka #34)
Early morning mist
A bulky mass in the sea
Sparkles like a gem
Unbelievable vision
A glacier drifts in slowly

Roars (Tanka #33)
Roaring with anger
Thunder sound is deafening
Flashings in the sky
Lightening struck a huge tree
Blaze of fire, setup free

Repair (Tanka #32)
Yellow leaves scattered,
under the star apple tree.
Birds picking on twigs,
To repair the damage nest
On another small fruit tree.

Spiders (Tanka #31)
Web spun in my house
Invisible threads surround
Thou not so harmful
I hate to see them around
Silently creeps on the walls

Silver Lining
At the break of dawn,
When tempests and tides subside;
I will remain here.
Bask in sunrise, awaiting;
Elusive silver lining.
My first attempt to write a tanka. Constructive criticisms are welcome. :)

Crickets (Tanka #30)
Chirping sound outside,
From an old resonator.
In the late evening,
Sets a tranquil ambience,
The cricket sings from afar.

Imagination (Tanka #29)
Laying in the fields,
Among beautiful flowers.
A feel of heaven,
Blooming of budding tulips,
Lusting kisses on my lips.

Bubbles (Tanka #28)
Floating soap bubbles,
Shines and glitters in the sun.
Blown from a distance.
Each pops-up as it flies high,
Into the beautiful sky.

Hilltop (Tanka #27)
The hilltops from home,
Look like an old man's beard.
Bushy all the way.
Tracks are setup for hiking,
Beautiful scene from above.
