JC Brul Poet Tanka

Scent of Solitude

on mountain's peak
                     at autumn’s end—
                there I truly smell
         the scent of solitude
       in the whoosh of wintry wind.

Speaks Volumes July 27, 2023 at 6:48 AM Solitude has two faces. It can be sad or it can be delightful. The scent will be fragrant or bitter depending on the wind and the mood you are in. Your poem is thoughtful. I really like it.
