finding him
at the park
my inner child

scattered beneath
the temple bell -
cherry blossoms

for Simon

some days
even my own company
is too much
but where can you go
to escape from yourself

Modern English Tanka V3 No2 Winter 2008

autumn sunrise
only the colours
are warm

Presence 34 January 2008

a face
from the distant past
and again
this sense of how things
could have been

Blithe Spirit V18 No4 December 2008

your voice
a quiet whisper
and once again
the whole world
is spring

Modern English Tanka V3 No2 Winter 2008
