Tanka Poems

winter

the warmth i carry with me

like red hot iron

with every cold breeze

i shiver



winter sleep

the chill of poverty

squeezes itself

into my thin blanket

my legs refuse to warm up



garden party

the bee come humming a song

the butterfly dances in her best

all over we serve drinks

of cool sweet herbal drink

I don't know what a Tanka poem is, but I liked this piece. I like the subject matter and the flow of the lines.
