HOME OF MODERN TANKA
ACROSTIC-TANKA POETRY
Woman
Warmth spins universe
Of eternal light, the womb
Mysteries unfold
Arising vice and virtue
Nonplussed; madness blooms in thorns
Pulse
Palpitations spread
Unbearable of silence
Lashes crisscrossed on
Sepia toned hearts woven
Eclipsing two suns; pavane'd
Cruel
Coiled hair on finger
Ruinous memories, tugged
Under ghostly breath
Echoes Acheron's dismay
Looming rain bursts ground to hiss
Scent
Soft moonlit glow, on
Clavicle, whispers sheltered
Ensues belonging
Notes of blue forget-me-nots
Trapped in silent fingertips
Black
Breathe your allusions
Lurid err hell-vermillion
Absent the present
Curtailing laic timbre
Knelled in seashell of my ear
