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

Tanka Cafe; Theme"Changing Your Mind"

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

Selected Tanka

weeping bitterly
at the cemetery--
a cat basks
in the winter sun,
my only comfort

Tanka Cafe -- Theme; Illusion

are drips
of happiness
joined together
by silver fingers
behind the galaxy?

Selected Tanka

the warmth
of my father drifted away
never to return
like smoke
from an incense stick

the door
is still closed--
I, a deserted child
remain
in the darkness
