Silent Sky (Tanka #18)
Bright yellowish moon,
peaking through the top window.
Trees cast a shadow.
Dancing fireflies decorate,
the silent sky with colors.

Kingri (Tanka #17)
A dark ambience,
Falls upon a lifeless soul,
Drapped in ***** shrouds
Near an abundant wrenched path
Where he used to play kingri

Secrets (Tanka #16)
The umbra tales
Thousands of unknown secrets
As the light unveils
A spectacle on the ground
From a hanging bunch of bones

Praise (Tanka #15)
I lifted my hands
To sing praise to the lord God
The thunder roared, all
of a sudden, providing
The beats, to my tuneless song

Clouds (Tanka)
Clouds in the heavens
Hazy spirits in the sky
Just dreams floating by

The wind hums a gentle tune
The sun calls out for the moon

Gates (Tanka #14)
The opened gates of
Heaven, welcomed with showers
But the hell whirlpool
Grabbed me horrifically
Inside an infinite dome

Rain (Tanka #13)
The pitter patter
Melodiously falls on
The old metal roof
Soon a spectrum of colors
Crossed the blue celestial dome
