Selected Tanka
the deep blue
of an Alaskan sky
then the voice of an aurora
I want to dive
into the universe
I am very honored that two pieces of my English tanka were selected among many entries and posted in TSA Member's Anthology 2017.
Especially, I am deeply grateful to Ms. Margaret Dornaus and Mr. David Terelinck, the two selectors, because they understood and appreciated my intent and the theme of these two pieces. These pieces are not limeted to my personal emotion. I tried to focus on the world's peace while taking the form of tanka - a style of short poems.

the blood
of my parents
of my grandparents
dark fog
is crawling near
my ankles
Hiroshima, Nagasaki,
Fukushima and . . .
