September Tanka
SEPTEMBER SONG - triple tanka
Like a lover's sigh
She tiptoes forth looking back -
Those warm memories -
Birds still singing cross over
And sad sunshine stills the wind
Now September sings
A sympathetic tune silvers
Promises late gold -
The change will be gradual -
Promises sleep painless sleep
Mysterious calm
Like a magic caesura
Bated by surprise
In mind it's ever the same
Such gentle looking forward
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
HAPPY HAPPY TIME - double tanka
Happy happy time
Early tears and sleep lifted
Once past Labor Day
Harlequin in falll colors
Trips so lightly o'er the world
Echoes sad voices
From the past are silenced
By the happy clown
Bacchus come down pours the wine
The whole world on color dines
