Jan Oskar Hansen Poet Tanka

Tanka and Senryu

Tanka

Roses like soft rain
Deluge kills them brutally 
Fallen pale petals 
Drowning in a pool of regrets 
As rain makes furrows in soil 

 

Senryu
Floor cleaners are
Floor managers, wear logos
But pay is lousy. 

Senryu
A man from Timor
Selling flowers to lovers  
Lives on rejections

Kathryn Collins May 28, 2012 at 6:30 AM Dear Jan, Your verse reminds me of boulevard of broken dreams-Nighthawks. Proud are the doormen of Park Avenue in their uniforms. Jan Oskar Hansen May 28, 2012 at 7:10 AM how true Kathy, give people a uniform, never mind the money
