My MuseOn gossamer wings
she glides through neon moonbeams
singing while I weep.
Lovely muse - I should chase you ...
but cold Earth claims me again.

TankaTanka is five line verse
Though the tail is unlike
Tallies with Haiku scheme
Traces profound feelings
Transmits strong emotion
Through an implied image
The end states its notion.
