Tanka Tuesday # 53 ...A Rensaku


the end of summer
roses for valentines day
the perfect season

hot days balmy nights
summer's the season of love
down under the world

sand between my toes
wet suits drying on the line
sad to see you leave

  3. That last line, though... I hope it was speaking of summer, not the love. Great rensaku, Rall!

  4. I agree with Yvette’s sentiment about the last line. Though ambiguous always makes for a better haiku. I’d love for it to be summer here.🥶

  7. What a fabulous rensaku, Rall. I love the last line! Remember the songs of our youth? It was common for a summer love to move on. ❤️
