In Dreams

Naked in the surf

   We splash and play together.

Falling to the sand

   In a hot lover's embrace....

 I awaken to snoring.

Francine, as I was reading this, I was thinking, ok ok, this is not really tanka because it is just describing a great moment of romance, and then I got to the last line and I LOVED the twist. For that reason I am putting this humorous one on the winner list tied with the other one I got that was funny!! Congrats to you.

Such irony, awaking to snores after dreams of passion. You had me going there for a while, Francine. Thought you'd found a sexy new guy! Soup mail in a second. Love, Carolyn
