Dawn Dewdrops

by Gypsy Blue Rose


Presentation and Poem by Gypsy Blue Rose (c) copyright @11/14/24

dawn cries dewdrops

because the moon is gone

    and I feel its grief —

as it dreams of distant stars

adorned with sapphire rings

.

the gray dawn carries

nostalgic morning mist

     and transient clouds —

that say goodbye and hide

behind daylight

 

 



Recognized


Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem with 31 syllables arranged in five lines; English tanka is 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables are different. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate lovemaking. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.
