after he leaves
a sprig of lavender withering
on the nightstand
the scent of regret
hangs in the still air

Tan Renga


years since you left
still the plum blossoms
come and go
finally my regretful heart
opens to receive

Tan Renga

i am like
a wild violet
you cannot tame
a surging tide sweeping
wide across the bay

Tan Renga

Having met through the Spring Haiku 09 Blog last week, Pamela and I have begun working collaboratively. We have written two Tanka Sequences and are currently writing Tan Renga. We humbly offer the poem below and hope that it will speak to you on some level.

at the altar
I offer snowdrops
and a prayer
this springtime rift
too much to endure

touching all the petals
before they leave the stem

sitting beneath
the plum tree all day
covered in white petals
and yet, i'll still adore
its naked beauty tomorrow

spring mist
through white pines
the monk
walks further & further
into their silence

what difference
does it make?
you left me in springtime
lost among the remains of
unknown flowers

i traveled a moonbeam tonight

i enter the garden gate mimosa tree shadowing the stone buddha
gathering johnny-jumps-ups to press half moon over my shoulder
innocent violets surrendering to the white butterfly
a ladybug on jacob's ladder i count eight dots
pink morning glories on the trellis growing taller each day
inch by inch the caterpillar climbs oppressive heat
maidenhair ferns flowing yielding, yielding flowing
a spray of forget-me-nots on the porch swing
lying on a hammock my straw hat askew
setting sun a hummingbird leaves the trumpet vine quivering
torrid night even the fireflies are hiding
shooting stars moondust showers
i traveled a moonbeam tonight searching for you

tanka

spring rain
a gentle reminder
of our first affair
so distant now, it only
chills me to the bone

Tanka

no matter
what colors
i pick
a sadness...
tulips in the wind
