A Yarn of Sunshine

"I've got sunshine" 

TANKA~ 1
This heavyweight wind
jiggles the chimes limbs hanging
sensitively 
a thousand sound waves invade 
visible radiation
~~~~~

TANKA~ 2
Dark moonlight tempest
blunders off the mountain top
a massive flooring…
the courageous beam of light
saved souls upon meadow blades
~~~~~

TANKA ~3 
A place called daylight
where the beam is always pure
luminescence 
if you could only feel this
you’d ask to hold the torchlight 
~~~~~

TANKA~ 4
Somewhere were you sleep
the fluorescence substance light 
absorbs your beauty
every second that you breath 
the light becomes like sunshine 
~~~~~

TANKA  ~5 
Sky of falling stars
belong in my diary
notification
renewing my wedding vows
sunshine begins with me
~~~~~

TANKA~ 6
Missed the snooze button;
pendulum rods tick out loud 
morning bird and worm;
sunlit curtains smooth rays 
anonymous melody
~~~~~

TANKA ~7
Two rainbows petals 
peek outside with loneliness
against no sunlight
rainy weather condition 
no color will bring you back 
~~~~~

What a beautiful set of tanka, Linda! Like them all, but I give 4 and 7 a slight edge over the others:) [now you've got me singing Otis Redding's - My Girl ... and am overwhelmed by memories and emotions!!] // paul

yes, I read the section for me that you wrote using the idea of my haiku set. You did a very clever thing there and I commend you for supporting the victims of breast cancer. Ravindra made quite a tribute, didn't he? Thanks for that blog and for your focus on that issue. Luv, Andrea
