Notes About The Poem

Oliver Mckeithan's Tanka-Haiku Contest ...2 Aug 25

echoes on a lake


flowing on a lake of full-grown orchids and smoke... through my lover's eyes each bloom becomes a wasteland in water-colored amber. ~ dusk of summer glides tracing our mild water's bend... sighs echo farewell 2nd place

Has a most 'dreamlike' feel to it. Flows along in a most appealing way. Love that last line, Nette: "sighs echo farewell". Nicely penned! :) john
