“A Tanka Trio (7)”

On November 7, 2021 By Mike U.In Poetry

(#19)

When I sought knowledge
I opened my eyes and ears
When I sought wisdom
I opened my mind and heart
Rain and sunshine for my soul

…..

(#20)

In my winter dreams
I walk barefoot in the spring
Sink my toes in loam
In the green konara copse
Gathering the brown acorns

…..

(#21)

Near the red footbridge
Piebald koi drowse in the shade
Of lotus blossoms
As cicadas call my name
Welcoming me home again

  Thanks, Rhyan. It means a lot to me when I can connect with people through my writing. These small verses are my way of saying hello to the universe, I suppose. I really appreciate your kindness. *tips cap* 🙂
