Counting Back

autumn star glimmers lighting boughs on threadbare trees I count seasons back--- while eyes gaze at young moon’s love and shiver alone in chills Suzette Crous’ Tanka- the Pivot Contest By nette onclaud

A great yet lonely poem. I can imagine it, how it feels like to be this person through this tanka. I don'y have any new poem, Nette, something wrong with my brain. Nothing can flow out, either the story or the words, I just blank. :'( I'm here cos i missed the soupers poems or maybe i can get some inspirations :)
