A Writer's Place - tanka

-->

A Writer’s Place

dreams hidden below

office landscapes, beg a song

their story be told

how ideas flowed, gave them life

then held them frozen in time

simple collections

gather upon the palettes

of creative minds

story snippets, colored notes

pregnant keyboard awaits birth

Cannon Beach - a tanka

Cannon Beach

ocean air dances

sand, salt, and sea spray hold hands

coax beach wanderers

onto soft sandy reaches

for long walks, meditation

tanka - spring synergy

spring synergy

winter’s chill undone

beneath clear warmth of spring’s sun

stretched upon the deck

slender cat soothes aging joints

eyes closed, body drinks pure bliss

poetry - tanka

flower field

waning rays’ soft glow

deepens tulip buds’ blushes

magenta, crimson

soldier on, row after row

silent stewards of beauty
