National Poetry Month
In honor of National Poetry Month in April, every year I like to give myself a challenge. Usually I connect the poetry to some art form since that's what this blog is all about. This year I will focus only on poetry since I've been doing more writing than art lately. (Of course I will add art to my creative time soon.)
I've been taking online classes in two forms of Japanese poetry, tanka and haibun, and so will follow those forms for this year's challenge.
I'm beginning a series of tanka called "Third Marriage" and here are the first two poems:
November chill
unexpected phone call
early dinner meeting
after 5 cups of coffee
relationship is born
harvest moon
color of autumn trees
my heart round
full as the cratered orb
lighting a cobalt sky
