Tanka day

I'm having a Tanka day today.



Looking in the glass
I see age there looking back
My soul still feels young
Though time's wintry finger tips
Have stroked frost into my hair.

*******

Sleeping brings forth dreams

That whisk my heart far away

I dance through starlight

While the wind from the warm sun

Blows into my weary soul.

********

Soft the sound of growth

Silently the leaves unwrap

I see hints of green

I see them in your flashing eyes

Jealousy's seed sprouts again.

********

The sheets kiss my skin

The cool breeze softly strokes it

Lying on my bed

I miss the feeling of warmth

That comes when you are near me.

******

Car engine purring

The scenery unrolling

The freedom to drive

To travel along the road

Moving independantly.

*******

My problem isn't writing
It is NOT writing...
