TANKA...........
Hisashi Nakamura, UK
 

 

A calm winter dawn:
As the morning glow flames up
Against silky clouds
My soul is put on the cross
Of an oak tree silhouette.

Bright gems on the leaves
Of dead winter beech hedges
In the melting frost:
Solemn sun rays hold back time
Lost in a sea of amber.
