Fall

by Always and Never   Jan 18, 2008


Tanka

"Fall"

As the leaves fade,
The pedals fall
Becoming one with the earth.
Becoming one with all,
It's Fall

"Winter"

It's cold, very, very cold
I see her walking barefoot; Oh is she bold.
I cover my self to try and keep warm,
I see it coming, a snow storm.
Watch out it's winter.

    Heya,

    First of all I wanted to thank you for your comment you wrote on one of my poems a few weeks ago. It was very accurate, especially the part about confusion. Good on you to try and interpret the poem, and be brave enough to elaborate.

    The beginning of your profile made me laugh, in a good way - i didn't read the rest.

    As for the tankas...I love Japanese-style poetry. Always refreshing. I like the way the fall poem is indifferent and placid, but the mood in the winter poem is insidious, almost violent. Nice personification. I didn't think tankas were meant to rhyme but I'm probably wrong, I forget.

    Take care girl.
