Haiku and Tanka

Emotions mounting Thoughts drop from a leaky pen A world in a drop Splashed ink on aging parchment Letters make words make soft sound

I wonder how you came up with such title? and does it have a certain meaning or a personnel reason?

With a good pen on beautiful paper, drops of words make worlds.So well expressed!

Thanks, Darren. I am preparing a book of Haikus & Tanka poems for publication with the title: "Splashed Ink of Parchment". It's quick and easy to self-publish and might make a nice gift to give away to people.
