Sorrowed Remnants
~*Marge Tindal*~

Silhouetted shade
Casting out remnants of love
Fluffed off in the show
Of other loves of the night
Shadows cascade in sorrow~



~Because I know how you dear people worry about me ...
rest assured that this is just a Tanka form piece
I did for Aleta's website as a Tanka example~

Tee-Hee-Hee ... dang, can you believe it's Just A Poem ?
I LOVE YOU ALL~


~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

SweetAnnie~

Glad to oblige -

Now ... the TANKA ... ahhhh, it can go on and on foreverly~

Line 1 - five syllables
Line 2 - seven syllables
Line 3 - five syllables
Line 4 - seven syllables
Line 5 - seven syllables

It's an easy one to do by the syllable count ... but can be challenging as well to keep a theme going~

***And THEN ... you can continue it into an even longer story line
breaking it into Tanka after Tanka after Tanka~

Please email me at noles1@totcon.com if you post one~
Would LOVE to see you give it a try dear lady~

Dear Marge.  Your Tanka is lovely.  I have been gone for a few days and will try this form when I get rested up from my travels.  Love, Joyce

Dear Marge,

Tanka for the lesson dear lady.

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost
