RETURN TO WINTER
lying in my bed
i look out at a grey sky
keeping warm and cosy
trees waving in the wind
i look out at a grey sky
on this cold spring day
trees waving in the wind
cuddling my purring cat
on this cold spring day
i am staying indoors
cuddling my purring cat
cancelling all appointments
i am staying indoors
keeping warm and cosy
cancelling all appointments
lying in my bed
TANKA TUESDAY no 80... ALLITERATION
Let TOVE DITLEVSEN'S Poem "Memory" inspire you
FOR ADELE ALEXANDRINE LUDIVINE
have i
told you lately
that i love you
when i think of you
a rush of joy
and a ray of hope quivers
in the spring breeze
it's your birthday today
you have been gone so long
only in the memory
does my heart find peace
you are the only one
who has ever loved me
i noticed too late
joy resides somewhere
beyond the pearly gates
where we will meet again
Happy Birthday Darling
i saw the presents
hidden in nana's wardrobe
santa gone for good
still feel a bit sad
a sad memory because
i loved santa claus
kept it a secret
no one knew i knew did not
want to spoil christmas
a slight misunderstanding
the plain princess thought
she had found her ideal companion
in a duke
passed over for more beautiful girls
by suitors so many times before
she was finally happy and excited
at the thought of meeting him
no more afternoon teas alone eating biscuits
however
the curved side whiskers
and sheet of toilet paper peeping
out of his pocket was
a turn off
all downhill from then on
kindness
both joy and pain
when you realise that
you only receive it from
strangers
the nearest
not always the dearest
if not for strangers
kindness would indeed be
a stranger
Tanaga Form
she should have left them sooner
afraid of not having friends
was always a late bloomer
far too quick to make amends
Japanese poets often use color to express feelings rather than to define them explicitly. For instance, a poet might describe a scene with vibrant colors to convey joy or a muted palette to express sadness. This subtlety allows readers to interpret the emotions behind the words, creating a deeper connection to the poetry.
