Daver Austin Poet Tanka

The Moon and Rosered (Reposted)

THE MOON AND ROSERED (tanka)

dew weeps not rosered
heavy dew hangs not her cheeks
no    it is the light
gone her lovely pastel blush
gone the moon this cloudy night


I accidentally zapped this one out because I don't know how to cancel those poems 
submitted in the last soup contest.

Andrea Dietrich December 2, 2011 at 9:03 PM This is so pretty,Just revising way back in the oldies, my friend. About the snow poem being too short. It was Francine's contest and I had failed to read where she stated 2 -5 verses needed. I attached a new verse to the poem and I hope she likes it.

Carolyn Devonshire March 3, 2010 at 3:16 PM Beautiful image, Daver! I see many things when I look at a moon as full as it was last night. Keep looking for "the man" who is supposed to be there. Very good tanka! Tanka you, Daver. Love, Carolyn
