I look at you now
My eyes shining bright with love
How lucky I am
Knowing your wonderful soul
Having you here close to me

Perfection of form
Not so easy to define
Perfecta Mundo !
Just so perfect is your rhyme
Tanka you so very much !

Sunny -  Yesterdsay I saw a link in a reply..I think Marge posted it.. to a poetry website.  They had a section on Japanese poetry, Tanka being one of the forms of poetry.  It grabbed my attention so I thought I would try my hand at it   I glad you liked it.. thank you for your sweet words.

Marge thank you my friend
Your nice words mean oh so much
It was a challenge
This poetry called Tanka
But it was worth it.. I’m hooked!
