Juliet Ligon Poet Tanka

Music

Melodies remain
Uncontained by time's goodbyes
Songbook of refrain
Immersed with dim, nimbus eyes
Chorus chords immortalized

Brian Sambourne June 4, 2021 at 1:23 PM Superb! Still in a winner in our estimation. Word choice grabs the reader's attention with its originality. Best wishes, Brian

Gershon Wolf May 22, 2021 at 8:07 PM Yes! -- 'Uncontained by time's goodbyes' -- love that second line. Nice use of the tanka form. Let the music play on! ~ gw
