Tanka Cafe--theme ;Historical Events

fine snow
of New Year's Day,
small footprints
lead to grandma's gate
before the shrine

Selected Tanka

sound
of falling snow
scent
of firewood and baguette--
can I change my lonely life

Tanka Cafe --Theme; Autumn Locales

who is
counting fireflies
by the Nile?
after the dream
of civilization

Selected Tanka

divining
the last days
of mankind
in noon-day shadows--
the Milky Way still shines

Selected Tanka

a year later
little by little
he starts
to talk about the tsunami,
sunset to the debris

Member's choice tanka

winter
high tide--
I felt
the desire in my heart
to be your lady again
