Half-Dead (Tanka #26)
The sun shines so bright,
On the half-dead meadows near.
A little drizzle,
Creates, glares of peridot
Waves in like colourful flare

Spotted Doves (Tanka #25)
Two grey spotted doves,
Pick on the sprinkled rice grains.
Splash and drink water,
Cool off on the water spurts.
Wild doves fly in everyday.

Buried (Tanka #24)
Standing lone and firm,
on a deserted swamp land.
A tall, dead tree sways,
with well exposed skeletal,
like buried in a graveyard.

Revive (Tanka #23)
As her tears fell down
On a faithless seed unknown
A hope for a life
Upon a lifeless lone plant
Only to revive again

Leaves (Tanka #22)
The leaves fall again
In this harsh summer weather,
The difference is,
It's the greener ones rather
The usual half dead leaves

Doubts (Tanka #21)
Shredded inked paper
With visible red ink writes
Many rough fullstops
Hardly any encryption
Doubtful mind, winds description

Quill (Tanka #20)
A beautiful quill
Freely dancing with the breeze
Landed on a branch
A bird picked it up quickly
And flew in the open sky

Blinking Nose Jul 2017
Tanka
mildly self conscious
gruntled about the present
estranged lovers meet
smile over stifled yearning
and think fondly of the past
Back to Tanka. Reading Emily Dickinson - in love with her envelope poems collection.

Downpour (Tanka #19)
A motion of change.
The wind, switches direction.
The clouds bump in roar.
Frogs, croak in the near valley,
while the heavy loads, downpour.
