midnight hush
a distant train whistle
so faint
my mother's voice
singing me to sleep

#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #TankaThursday

thunderstorm--
he offered me a ride
no thanks
I'd rather breathe rain
in the morning air

#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo

the corner
of her blanket
worn smooth
these feelings
that rise and fall

#tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo

‘eternity’

#NaTankaMo #MayTanka #tanka

garden path--
he said he'd love me
for eternity
but his idea of forever
so different from mine

in the bosom of a lake
where the surface glimmer & shake
i let my thoughts bake
lost in the whistle of waters
i hear where once the enchanted spake

galloping summer
in Arcadian citadel
early morning ride
not a tree but many stones
my horse got lost on its way

the blue years were black
lasting half a century
grace remembered me
the past stays where it belongs
today is a miracle

Every scion has
A backstory, yet they'll still
Spin their tale thus;
And whistle past the graveyard
Of those that gave them so much

#NaTankaMo #MayTanka #tanka 'honor'

A cascade of blue
falls from the sky to earth,
like a gift of grace.
I rise & sing with the rain,
a song of joy & freedom.

A translucent dome
pale blue under blazing sun
surrounded by dunes
artificial oasis
verdant greenery within

sudden rain
the white shoes I put on
pretending it was spring
the lines of runny mud
a Rorschach test

Allure of blue
Van Gogh for Picasso
Survival phasing
Yellow sunflowers splash colour
Heavy heads in obeisance.

all smooth now
the wrinkles on her shirt
ironed out
the voice sweetened with honey
-- they say we clean up nice

spider web
dangling in the breeze
weightless
your word of honor
dangling in the breeze

the blue
of my silk gown
slipping
through his hands
colouring the sea
