Twilight

back-lit birch and pine
pierced with autumn's red and gold
tremble beneath clouds 
my broken heart weeps like rain
a lone loon calls revelry

Congratulations Debbie. I'll have to do some reading up on the Tanka, so I can be as clever as you, but maybe the run on them will be over soon. Love, Joyce
