planting fresh pansies
my fingers slide across
the petals
I feel the velvet softness
of your touch
Modern English Tanka,
spring 2007
the day not yet hot
we spend time talking
under the trees
one certainty in our plans
we follow the same road
Ribbons, "Tanka Cafe"
summer 2006
the damp smell of earth–
promises to be made
and kept
many seasons still to follow
this warming spring
