Melancholia-A Tanka Verse

a confined abyss
dis ease,born of despair-
early morning mist
evanescing in
new light-giving care

You may hear me recite this tanka verse and much of my PS poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro

This is filled with such a serious tone, yet captures a brilliant sense of melancholy! Well done, Brian!
