Moonlight passage leads
to river of devotion
bare feet gather here
in waves of fluid motion
holy infatuation.

flights break down borders
leaving, returning
sometimes we become exiles
writers break physical bounds
find old and new compatriots
Water's quiet pool
Silent movement of a deer
Anticipation
Darting motion of the eyes
A twig snaps, thirsty deer flees
Quiet water still

We are the vandals
Desires create our misery
Breaking in pieces
Earth now a detention cell
Nature dressed in plastic sheets

rose petal's garden
thorns raking an open eye
trimmed bush barren bare
blood let the face of mourning---
sweet cherry of virgin light
Contest: Tanka me a Dream
Poet: Debbie Guzzi
fog embraces me
with infinite tenderness
rain falls in my heart
the soul pulls the mantle close
life can be a soft grey sleep

like ballet dancers
in colourful pinafores
an impromptu dance
choreographed by the wind
leaves dance to Autumn's sweet song

Lasting peace and love
treasures that gold cannot buy
lies within our hearts
thousand wishes has my heart
and the biggest wish is you

pitch dark small chamber
abnormal pulsating mass
loving human heart
blood regurgitating
heart grows weaker with each beat

alabaster Rhapsodies
alabaster moon
skips across midnight waters
trails silver ribbons
singing wind song harmonies
with two loons in rhapsodies

She’s fierce with red eyes
Evoked by power of fire
Terror, corruption
Quite a sizzling hot feeling
Avoidance of normalcy

Love struck lavender.
Makes my heart sing once again.
Whence my eyes behold
whimsical beauty so rare.
Proof of love that's born at last!
for Rick Parise's contest "Tanka-1 or 2 only"
I chose lavender rose
drops of rain pelt down
sentiments floating downstream
embrace the showers…
saturated and shattered
refinement in process

The night feels surreal,
in flight in my dressing gown
Swooping through backyards,
I reach to save them from loss,
but find myself falling down.
Written for the contest 'Tanka me a Dream"
tara jennings
Always by my side
Together seventeen years
Buried you today
Silent tears fall like raindrops
Why did my dog have to die?

Honourable Mention
eye gazes tender
taunting glint, my heart beat skips
strokes each dear finger
universe slows for our love
undressed my smile with moist kiss
Poetry Contest: Tanka 3
Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich
I've extracted all the love in my heart
and all the kisses on my lips at the moment
I'm trying to be careful not to be careless
Course these is love affair
Please do not refuse it

building a nest now
with your forget-me-not smile
dream bird of my mind
flying too close to you now
to capture those rainbow smiles

I am not a fish
Yet in this bowl I'm living
Swim up to the side
Press my big lips to the glass
People gawk and hoot at me!

Graceful exposed limbs drip tears
Lake filled to its brim
Eerily fog coats isle's trees
Who sigh for birds southward flown

one look and i knew
the attraction was fatal
infatuation
would grow into devotion
and i’d never find a cure

Eyes like a clear lake,
reflections of a dreamland,
skylights for two hearts.
Walking amidst the cloud tops,
the light brightens up their day.

Just one short moment
Before he’s turning away
Can’t you stay longer
Don’t you know how we miss you
Yes Mama... I miss you too

Pride and hurt combine
I resist the call for help
The problem is mine
Because I am my own boss
I will carry my own cross

In the grey of day
Sun hidden behind the clouds
Trees do look dismal
The track to the forest lost
Haze covers over the ground
