Swans

We like sweet swans glide,
on dreams, as upon waters
with majestic grace-
then return to solid land
and waddle strangely on dirt

1st of all, I'm fully in agreement with Tony Abbott!  

Now...I can really relate to the message of this piece...I am so much more svelte and graceful in my dreams than when I attempt to rise and DO!

Sunshine--Good day, Thanks for stopping by to read and for your comments.

Startime--thankyou for your kind comments.

Tony--Hello, thank you. Tanka are just five line poems of 5-7-5-7-7 syllable count, and can be about anything, just like Senryu...this was my first one... Glad you enjoyed.

Vas--thankyou for reading.  Glad you liked.

take care,
Poeminister
