~Southern Plantations~ ( Double Japanese Tanka) Magnificent great homes Fill'd of much history and beauty Majestic jewels Fill with many memories Some so good some so bad Sun is going down Ancient walls show amidt oak trees Many stand so tall Surviving time many wars Elegant homes exuding such grace. Dorian Petersen Potter aka ladydp2000 Copyright@2011 April.02.2016 ~Author's Notes: "The Tanka" is a classic Japanese poetry form or style related to the Haiku.
