Miracle Sticks


Onto the blank page, 
Pour forth thoughts; ink lines of black; 
Thought forms of fluid;
A calligraphers ink-scape
A magical miracle.

This little gem is an amazing Tanka M.L. It is difficult to express such depth within such few lines as a Tanka, but you have managed it wonderfully. I loved this! 7
