this strange desire
to dance in the light
of the moon
and vanish
without trace

Modern English Tanka V3 No3 Spring 2009

Sunday 29 March 2009

flowering cherry -
no one seems to notice me
slip into that world

Sunday 22 March 2009

in my hand
the weightless shape
of a moth's wing

Thursday 19 March 2009

spring rain -
my shadow leaves me
along the path

Friday 13 March 2009

spring dawn -
dropping a stone
in the lake
it ripples
right through me

Modern English Tanka V3 No2 Winter 2008

Monday 9 March 2009

spring rain -
the dark edge of a cloud
shapes the sky

Tuesday 3 March 2009

downstream
a handful of blossoms
and a promise

Monday 2 March 2009

spring rain -
blossoms in the puddle
fill the sky
