Alexis Y. Poet Tanka

Melancholy Days

As the blue jay chirped, 
         my sadness seemed to fade away;
                But she lost her voice.
             Melancholy days returned;
              Like a never-ending flood.

Sara Kendrick February 6, 2021 at 11:29 AM Expressive and emotive work. The sound of birds can make our day. I haven't heard the doves cooing in a few days. I guess this cold and wet weather has them hunkered down. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Andrea Dietrich February 4, 2021 at 1:23 PM so sad, but such a good tanka. I hope you are not feeling like this but judging by your other poem I read, maybe you are struggling. I hope you will have a happy weekend!
