Dazzling carmine leaves dance like fair Geisha on a Japanese Maple. Shapely arms, curving branches, bend in cadence with the wind. ~~ July 1st, 2017 ~~ *Carmine is a pigment of a bright-red color, as is most often used by Geisha to color their lips.

Thank you, Jeremy. I wanted to read yours before responding, and I think your tanka is beautifully written...a sense of longing along with the color of passion. I'm sure it will do very well.
