Pain

Dark dense clouds in pain Wandering incessantly All over the sky Condensed loneliness of soul In the melancholy rain ________________________________________

Hi Probir, i have begun to like the shorter forms more as i have read them. Haiku and Tanka are two of my favourites. I am glad that i looked in on this Tanka today. In your five lines the images flow so easily. The content is perfect for this peace. Every line just fits in so easily with the next. An excellent Tanka. As i say Probir, it does sing. I have no favourite line, if i were to pick one it would be every one. This is a definite seven....Mike.

Shorter forms can speak longer and a sensitive reader listens to it still longer ... this is what I feel ... Thank you for your pithy note ...

With me the short form is king because it charges the imagination with infinite variety. Love the one. Love, daver

The earth is, indeed, a living, breathing organism--often brooding for out relationship. Well said, Probir!
