Carrie Richards Poet Tanka

Wings of the Evening

The day is folding
     Like moths when they close their wings
          Skies have turned crimson
               With butterfly reflections
                    Till fireflies gather night

Daver Austin October 16, 2008 at 6:02 AM Yes, Carrie, this is the organization of tanka I like to use, mainly because I haven't explored any further. Your piece is so sensitive and full of color I want to read it again and again. Love, daver

George Anos October 15, 2008 at 11:10 PM This is like faerie light basking its beauty one magical evening! It has an eldritch element in it (I'm a Drizzt Fanatic). Brgds and very comforting write here Carrie. Brgds. George
