Ilan Pang Tangka Sa Tanka

watching the leaves touching damp earth I walk on, (pondering)— how graceful they fall so unlike me ************************************************************ feathered silence folded in paper tickled— with the sound of your laughter ************************************************************ holding the plum bowl glass shatters as my fingers slip my heart along with it ************************************************************ listening in entomology class I yawn…. swallowing a mosquito ************************************************************ creased with silence letting go of that paper boat— I write your name in water ************************************************************ a few (ilan) of my attempts (tangka) at writing some tanka some time ago, they probably don't even qualify as tanka? these aren't related with each other though... Also me just trying to see if formatting will hold this time? The other day when I tried it, it did (even from Word) now, even from notepad, the formatting is all aligned to the left? Lemme see center now if it stays as centered (ok, it actually does). But aligning it to the right doesn't seem to stay though?
