A tanka for tanka tuesday – veil

bonfire wakes up the senses, wild-self alive
the fields shine with her brilliance
each corner a surprise
I’ve written a kimo poem (10-7-6 syllables) inspired by Colleen for Tanka Tuesday. This week the prompt choosen by the lovely Willow is the October Hunter’s Moon or the aging of the year.

welcome autumn joy
a muffin, pumpkin spice latte
kouyou everywhere
an dulcet invitation
guiding me to a fika
kouyou – Leaves changing color dulcet– Sweet, sugary
fika – A concept in Swedish culture with the basic meaning of making time with friends for coffee and a little something to eat; “a coffee and cake break.”

warm autumn sunsets
delightful crows symphony
the harvest moon smiles
she will be the only queen
in cozy darkening days

walking in the fall
an impromptus work leave
a right turn wasn’t right
reaching the ground, a scraped knee
a fall which left me disturbed
Tanka Tuesday’s host this week is Yvette; her prompt is to ‘have fun with words that have multiple meanings. I’ve chosen fall, leave and right for my tanka.

colourful or plain
scraps of imagination
a treasure or trash
from a perfectly nothing
a future without hurry
Joining Tanka Tuesday.

crisp air baths my skin
lady spring dressed in lightness
refreshes my body
at the end of a long day
the breeze brings dreams full of hope

in the depth winter
my mind wonders in darkness
short days and long nights
the full moon is the witness
i look for the hidden hope
i search for droplets of spring
A glass of wine, a yarn, and little by little layers are born. The waiting and expectation are building up as I look through the window. A new year is approaching!
snowdrops at midnight
welcoming new beginnings
shining as diamonds
Tanka Tuesday – Haibun
Moonwashed musings – New beginnings

december is here in all its glory
buying a new calendar
surrender to the end
a month for many presents and parties
money is going away
winter desolation
the heavy snow isn't giving us a break
some tasks are imperative
trimming the Christmas tree
Joining Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday
