„Ach, dieser Monat trägt den Trauerflor...
Der Sturm ritt johlend durch das Land der Farben.
Die Wälder weinten. Und die Farben starben.
Nun sind die Tage grau wie nie zuvor.
Und der November trägt den Trauerflor.“
- Erich Kästner

can I find myself in your
rapturous embrace
How jarring it is, waking

The Floating World - a book of days (13)
The first/last/only
bee this springtime stopped
at the green and purple
lavender - then flew away
before I could say goodbye.
Crows’ chorus of boos
follows the black cat
from one yard to the next.

Oh absolutely I knew. I was just testing. 😜😂
Actually, this is the first tanka I’ve eve seen. I wouldn’t have thought any poem would be more emotive than a haiku. Shows what I know. Guess it’s a good thing I became a lawyer and not a poet! 🤣

Thank you, Rob!✌🏼 Yup it is a tanka. It’s a lil longer than a haiku, five-lines/sentences unlike haiku’s 3-lines. The syllable count ruling is 5-7-5-7-7 & generally more use of emotions than a haiku. Oh the last 2 phrases are also supposed to be emotive/romantic/dramatic🫠 You prolly knew all these..

No, just for emotional guidance..
In hindsight I might have turned it from haiku to tanka poetry that way, but I’d need a lot more Grey Ajah starting with ‘Mel-‘ and a lot more emojis. Of those two, I’m less convinced there’s enough of the latter..
