Circle.(Cross-Tanka)

no sunlight through 
stars
dreams 
escaped,misty 
sparkling
have darkness 
sight far
night meeting 
thoughtful rebirth
passing 
minutes,coming 
circle
*
Cross-tanka can 
be read in all 
ways:up to 
down,backwards,to 
the left,right,in 
steps up,down,in 
diagonal.You should 
just to stop where 
you wish to make 
sense of mini haiku
(without 5-7-5 
rules)
1.no dreams have
night passing
minutes 
coming,circle.
2.circle coming
minutes 
passing,night
have dreams,
no sunlight through
misty stars.
3.no 
sunlight,escaped,
sight far,
rebirth circle.
There are about 
hundred or more 
variations.
