meadowsweet
the deer leave me
one bloom

I am not alone
in the mist
the pasture ablaze
with shooting stars . . .
train sparks

The Wombwell Rainbow, September 2022
My thanks to the curator, Paul Brookes, for selecting the following tanka art for the "Synergy" Photography feature:
(note: this tanka placed third in the 2020 San Francisco International Tanka Competition)
Artist's statement:
This photo was taken under a bridge on the frozen Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Every winter, there are art installations along the river skating trail. This one caught my attention because it reminded me of a gravestone, and of the time a crow shattered my window, losing its life in the process. The raven is symbolic in many cultures, and the tanka represents the way chronically ill people (myself included) often try to hide their infirmities ("pretending to be sky") to avoid making others feel uncomfortable.

bosky banks
new anglers whistle
away the fish
the point is lost
but we know it's there . . .
garden obelisk
stained oilskins
an iceberg's blue
somersault
lesser celandines
aglow in my garden
their name
belying the beauty
of these earthly stars
father lights
the kerosene lantern . . .
we recite poems
until they are rooted
in blood and bone

an ammo box
padlocked and buried
in his garden
the seeds of sorrow
dad kept inside himself
GUSTS, Number 36, Fall/Winter 2022
round pebbles
singing at the whim
of wavelets . . .
this melody unchanged
for a thousand years
restless
as a migratory bird
I yearn
for favourable winds
to carry me home
a circle
of radiance cradling
the sun . . .
on this winter's morning
we are held again by light
