Rolling mists carry
The sad, mournful songs of
Sailors lost at sea

Saltwater ghostings
Foggy mists of ever gone
Still, the sailor sings

Linda this is fantastic. I could heard the moaning in these few words. Great job.

Hugs, Marti

Every now and then take a good look at something not made
with hands -- a mountain, a star, the power of the ocean.
There will come to you wisdom,

Zall---your question couldn't have been asked at a better time! Yesterday I was doing a little surfing on the net and came across a terrific poetic glossary site (Bobs Byway).

http://www.poeticbyway.com/glossary.html

You'll find your answers there! Hope to see some of your tankas etc. very soon! I love reading them as well as writing them.

Have a great day!
Linda

Marti---I knew you couldn't resist a title that had "mist" in it! Ha! Ha!

Alan---with words like yours, I'll keep on writing them!

Thanks for this morning's pick-me-up replies!

Oh, they do, they do! I don't think I'll look at the rolling mists the same.

Lovely poem with powerful sensations.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Linda, this one certainly gets my vote
and attention....having been a sailor for
half of my life in the U.S. of Navy....

So, saying I really like this...is an
understatement!!

TradingSpaces-----Andrea, thank you for your
very gracious reply.

P.S. I noticed you live in the same city as our illustrious Mistletoe Angel! I don't think that that is a coincidence--is it?

Magnus---You mean I collaborated with a
         sailor and I didn't know it?!?

---'Tis a pity---It would have been even more of a thrill writing "One Song" with you, if I had known!  tee-hee!

BTW--I appreciated your enthusiastic response to this senryu!
