Tanka #11
new snow crunches as
i walk the road. doves coo and
fish flash in the pond.
the morning sunlight shatters.
night carries dreams of summer.

Oh Rick - this poem rocks! I love the crisp sound of the words and the vivid images evoked. Less is definitely more! I've read it at least half a dozen times. Like a lay's potatoe chip, I can't stop at one.
Shucks, ma'am.
Seriously, thank you. Haiku and tanka, especially tanka, have become my favorite forms. They give enough room to breathe, but their structure have enough walls to keep the wind out.
