thawing snow, moist eyes
stormy new moon, starry night
sensing your heart beat
remote caress, motionless
endearing utterance, mute
Tanka is a form of Japanese poetry, similar to Haiku, but older and consisting of 5-7-5-7-7 Syllables.

Lovely Tanka, in the silence the sound of heart rings loudly!
Simply beautiful!! Such tender emotions so nicely fitted into nature’s changing moods (aka seasons)…
Lovely!!
