Forest rainy mud. Roots and earth tilled by the sky. Sod and bone beneath. Did he ever dream her hand before he was skeleton? [This message has been edited by bsquirrel (09-22-2002 09:17 PM).] |

Very nice dark tanka! This inspires me to try my hand at anothere tanka piece of my own. I wrote a series of them encompased into one poem that I was quite pleased with, so I'm thinking I'll try it again. Once again, nice work. |

I'm glad you all enjoyed. A tanka? Basically, 5-7-5-7-7. Or a haiku that drools out the ending, in other words.  |
