(A Tanka it is There's no grass under my feet Although there should be-- After all it's my front yard Where I grow nothing but weeds! (and tanka, tanka, tanka very much!) [This message has been edited by deleeme (edited 08-06-2000).] |

Oh, wow, it's amazing.. so short yet so vivid.. oh by the way, what are the charasteristics of a haiku? I don't know how to write one either. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
