Tanka Poets on Site (August 16 prompt)

     Kathy Uyen Nguyen and I ended up writing a tanka sequence!

 

where petals unfurl
into subtle shades
like the clouds in the sky
I am a bird song waiting
to be heard       

                   (CV)

the bird songs

I remember from yesteryear . . .
are they not
the same hues
as your wild, wild heart?
                                        (KN)


I cannot wait
to see the other side
of the mountain
these new names
of scented wings
                            (CV)

mountain echoes

from the edges

of our lips

my heart becomes lost

in those painted skies

                                     (KN)

 

prompt: where I find myself
