Tanka


eons and eons
wearing away time and rocks
long before we were born
was it a plan ordained
that we met that summer night?




concrete tunnels
the hard shapes of steel and glass
reaching upward
a manmade world
connected by sky

Modern English Tanka
Moonbathing

Yes, probably to the first. That is a beautiful place, by the way.

I love the light in the photo of the second tanka. Even though, I am not much of a city person, this poem with stay in my mind.

Hi Adelaide- I still love your work. I consider you a mentor. I've started up a blog after mindlessly allowing my old one to lapse. Find it at https://www.sliverofthemoon.org/.
