Very curious about the scene going on in this tanka ... seems suggestive, if you know what I mean ;) I liked the description of the "river's skin" ... do tankas normally have titles? I always wrote them without ...

Lolest, it depends with how you interpret it my friend..... Well, I really thought hard about the title to give this piece... I just thought calling it "Tanka something..." would sound redundant. Haikus too don't necessarily need titles. Thanks for enjoying and commenting on my piece!! ;-)
