Dear friends,
As you all know I am a haiku poet and the most poetry I wrote are haiku, but today I love to share a tanka with you. A tanka, is like haiku, an ancient Japanese poetry form, but instead of three (3) lines a tanka is written with five (5) lines.
Several years ago I started to create as they are called "cascading haiku", and nowadays I "re-write" those "cascading haiku" to tanka, or stand alone haiku. Today's tanka "silk tree" is a re-done cascading haiku:
silk tree blossoms
in a soothing summer rain
trembling in silence
silk tree blossoms, so fragile,
in a summer breeze
trembling in silence
silk tree blossoms, so fragile,
in a summer breeze
