'2012 Love Tanka Contest' 2nd Place

disappearing
as moonlight laps
against the shore...
all of you
all of me

2012 Love Tanka Contest Winners

clouds and swans
giving shape to the river...
without your words
how would I ever have learnt
to fly

Blithe Spirit V22 N3 August 2012

butterfly wings...
how will I know
which path
to follow
now that you've gone

the world I dream
keeps changing...
above the water
a dragonfly
full of song

red lights Vol 8 No 2 June 2012

you probe
the depths of me
dark river
as if my mystery
were somehow less obscure...

drifting silently
downstream
the sky
I will one day
become

Blithe Spirit V22 N1 March 2012

first light -
always
everything is new

sunset red -
as the mind of the river
unfolds
I drift from one dream
to another

Gusts No.15 Spring/Summer 2012

in harmony
with the blue sky -
I've yet to live
the dream
of which the skylark sings

I would not want
to wake again
if I could hold you
endlessly
in a dream

trailing my hand
through the water
for a moment
more river
than man
