Tanka form...


Poem Artwork

Once, in a distant

Memory lived mirth and love,

Although slowly they

Vanished – nary a trace – as

All things left unattended.

This one goes deep, Dawn. It makes me think of a miser growing old alone. Great Tanka. Hugs,

Excellant tanka that captures and says so much about live and love. So many good relationships have perished because they were not nourished by both partners. Well done.

A melancholy write, and the last sentence caps the thought perfectly. People often get too complacent in a relationship and all the romance seems to fade into oblivion.

Yours are haunting words in a look back.

Mystery creeps in, and we wonder about events absorbed by time.

Your brief works continue to be well done
