Contemprary Tanka Poet Mariko Kitakubo. Tanka Society of America.
My Tanka publicized in Tanka Society of America.
Selected Tanka
between the dates
of Hiroshima & Nagasaki
my sweat seeps
into the small puncture hole
where they drew my blood
oh yes,
they are still crying--
Parl Harbour
inside of Linda
Okinawa inside of me
Tanka Cafe Theme:Thing That Revolve
maple seeds
are fluttering and
spiralling--
children are gone
to the civil war again
Selected Tanka
footsteps
are following me
they bring darkness
from the cliff
at Okinawa
Tanka Cafe Theme:Vegetables
quietly
in a corner of the kitchen
I'd like to sprout--
in order to escape
from the potato masher
Selected Tanka
a melody
of the Galaxy--
I listen
for memories that left
with a shooting star
