Notes About The Poem

red sun rising

red sun rising
blue, red, fuchsia striated horizon ....
damp air surrounds
not even a crow's caw 
and then unusual animal sounds     

We'll call this one a made up Tanka using Jack Collum's word count like in his word count Haiku.

Victor Buhagiar June 16, 2026 at 8:58 AM Enjoy the rising sun. So many houses around me that I cannot really enjoy the sunrise. Sara Kendrick June 16, 2026 at 3:22 PM I can imagine, Victor, that living in a city or a really close suburban area would be quite different than living rural like I do. I am thankful for being able to see sunrises and sunsets now. Thank you for the visit and kind review. Sara K.
