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?

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.
