String of Three Tanka Poetry

fire, flying, imagery, life, love, moon, sun,

Not I said she to me
Would I said she of me be
A moth drawn to light
No heat of fool’s gold necklaces
Would make a warming breath singe!

My strong wings will soar
Covering proper distances to sleep
Where true bright light points
Real life’s fortunes will fulfill 
My day and night time longings! 

I have love to share 
And will make that gift hold true
When coupled to take flight
Down inroads and out rides far 
Wedded wing to wing bred on tour!
