Tanka Society of America Ribbons '09 Fall
Tanka Cafe:the theme of "visiting"
as her death anniversary nears,
I sit beside my memories--
through the evening
the lovely voice
of a tsukutsuku cicada
Selecded Tanka
finding solace
in the impossible
here I am
in a bubble bath
perfumed with green forest
Autumn,
a sobbing violin--
when night falls
oh, Mother,please
let me weep
