Tanka
Cold snow clothes the ground
I am alone in this whiteness
no human comes here
peace and tranquility reign
society does not intrude

Tanka
Cold snow clothes the ground
I am alone in this whiteness
no human comes here
peace and tranquility reign
society does not intrude
Wow! I love that you kept to the ‘rules’ of a tanka and the theme of this piece certainly resonates with me. Perhaps it does with most poets!
Thank you Christy. I find Tanka’s more difficult to write than Haiku and Senryu. Glad you liked this.

The syllables are tough, for sure. I have a friend that sticks by haiku but I find them both difficult! You did a great job!
Thank you again. I dont always write the rigid Japanese syllable count. Sometimes am more flexible. I appreciate your comments very much
