mocking bird sings
a song of imitation
as the sun sets
listening for a reply
from a lonely mate

Poems of Garden Gnomes – FORM FRIDAY – TANKA
~
Morning Tanka
dawn arrives in pink
spread across the horizon
a sparkling gem
replacing the dark blanket
night tossed over the garden
winter love
Carpe Diem Tanka kukai
winter love
decorated tree
logs blazing in the fireplace
early winter night
old couple sharing kisses
under mistletoe berries
A Tanka
At d’Verse Poets
Meeting the Bar – Form: Tanka
two ruby red lips
parted in a flirty smile
tease the tired farmer
shapely form comes after dark
courtesan of midnight dreams
Unbidden
the flower does not send
invitations to bumbles
or bright swallowtails
and yet they come each morning
to breakfast on her nectar
