Vanished Light



encircled sunlight

vanished behind thunder clouds

darkness rules the light

reveal tears on rainy days

by moments of moody sky

There is something simple; yet powerful about "Vanished Light...Tanka" that moves the soul, Charisma1 Rhyming quatrain lines provide an enchanting beat that powers the poem forward. And the picture accompanying the poem explicates its soulful essence in nature and human experience. Hear Charisma: "encircled sunlight vanished behind thunder clouds darkness rules the light reveals tears on rainy days by moments of moody sky" Beautiful lines. But then, it is Charisma's sense of the personificatory that disarms one within the meaning and message of this poem. Ugonna
