Tanka Hangout: Compassion

her row veering off
the peasant woman plants
tward her crying child

- Issa (1763-1828)

 

fortitude
against the power.
the skinny frog
must be you, Issa ...
rooting for you

 

Selected Tanka

forgotten
the name of that slope ...
shadow tag
with my mother
when her smile was young
