Two Tanka Poems


Mint spreads like wind blown
leaves filling my garden bed
with round leaves climbing
toward sunshine   ready for
hot   honeyed   light morning tea









Cornflower blue sky
heavy with cotton ball clouds
changing from castle
to ghostly cattle grazing
in a periwinkle sky

  1. Love these, especially the second one. Anything with the words "cornflower" and "periwinkle" is fantastic in my book. :) I especially love the word bump of "changing from castle/to ghostly cattle."
