The thought
painting by Rubens Peale
I had the thought
hasn’t reached the pen
hasn’t made to field
of lines and spaces
tides and ebbs.
Its flesh filled fall
drifts in the holy mist
light cloud
above abyss’
hidden secrets.
Tamed magpie
hazelnut eye pass
a glitter ring in the beak
who dares to lost
the last word to speak…

looks similar with the tanka, but there is a difference. A tanka is written by
one poet and a Tan Renga is written by two poets, it's a short chained renga of

November
November sweeps,
Cleaning,
Shuffling the leaves -
a custodian,
his lisping voice
colliding vowels
in crispy air,
the clouds
bear sorrow, despair,
triggered the mystery
of expulsion
lives and deeds;
tapping in greeting attempt
the knees of
surrounding curbs,
he wrings twigs’ wrists,
turns outward dreams,
inviting to miracle
divination event,
asking: what for
you wish
to experience
November swaggers
leaf through the lives
happily.

Harmony seeds
I follow your steps,
October pensive,
or was it happened
just short three days back…
I still keep catching
those leaves’ accelerated rag
with squeaky branches,
tired limbs,
and palms so trustingly unfolded
to feel the mutter
of the wind…
Its plum-cheeks pout
while blows under tires
and values,
not knowing calmness
wild ghosts/goblins jump
through thin wall vail
between calamity
and fortune,
and salted hours
saved at the fall
glass jar.
The slanted sky
all wrinkled with a flock-
migrating souls/birds,
so difficult embrace
the harmony of broken
summer walk,
and slept through sparrow
mistakenly will poke
first snow rice
dissolved in the minutes…

Mourning
pixabay.om
November greets
with falling leaves and stars…
through vessels/veins
beneath each stone
in search
for maiden name of dusty body,
forgotten words…
unable cope, embrace the loss
the weeping kin,
still hope to hear dear voice…
and autumn bleeding
with blue fires…
