Plum perfumes The snowy air Within the harbor Ships at anchor Sway and sigh Upon the sea Trees twisted By wind and time Each as if alone Along the shoreline Over withered fields Not even an echo Of warriors’ drums |

Simply put...mesmerizing. The images are so vivid...I could feel myself on an empty harbor cast over by fog and light shadow. Lovely. Yv-Goddess of Her Domain. Symbol of Truth Passion Pain. Let Her Smile Rain on the Hearts of the Innocent. |

no long ago I post for "the love tanka challenge" there I used harbor and sway, so When I read this one, it goes directly to my heart. yours is always a beauty and very emotional. I am glad that I used some words that a wonderful poet has used years ago. how interesting. beautiful poem. if I let myself feel it, I shall not doubt cry all drought away. |
