Tanka Cafe - Theme, Time

crying door
everyone comes
into the bar
with their own sorrow ...
happy hour

 

Selected Tanka

a wind song
in the sky
above the Roman ruins ---
am I the trembling rose
pale pale purple?

Tanka Cafe - Theme, Time

clear green
was born ---
timeless
time of the forest
source of Hime River

Selected tanka

endless
the sounds of the spring ---
is there a small boat
for the last trip
of my life

sky blue paint
peeled off...
whose dream
is this?
a boat in a prairie

in the back pack
he bring a tangerine

on a snowy road

even in deep sleep
our Universe breathes
far away
what god
is watching

Tanka Cafe - Theme, what Matters

let me run
the whole distance
of my life...
double rainbow
after the storm

Selected Tanka

stroking
his handwritten letters
on the postcard---
not one ginkgo nut
in my bowl tonight
