Oft' recurring moods,
return to me our childhood:
"once upon a time"
when memories are simple,
definitions intrinsic!

Don't know what a 'tanka' is, but then, I'm just a country poet. Somebody's idea of elegance, I guess. Does it communicate?

this great, beautiful, I have yet to try Tanka, I've written Haiku and Tetractys, looking foward to my first Tanka.
