Caroline Cécile Delacroix Poet Tanka

Rescue

Tanka should not be titled, but since it is requested, I titled this tanka poem"

Rescue

falling silently
a windswept crown of petals 
lost
with no hopes of rescue
I extend my hand

softly it comes to rest
its velvet texture speaks to me
my heart's accappella
a tear drops 
the crown rescued

Caro's tanka duet
