winter winds
with the vigor of a rumbunctious child
blows a hole in gray clouds
releasing the sun

Dawn – A Tanka
a hush starts the day
morning bids farewell to dawn –
here on the ocean
waves once bathe in twilight pay
homage to the rising sun

Calm & Present
For Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday where we’re to use synonyms for the words Calm & Present. I used Hush & Here.
The Brook
melodious brook
liven up winter air, moss
still hangs at its edge

Unhinged
a cocoon unhinged
twirls like ashes in the wind
can it stay intact?

Shortest Day
As we drove home from our escape to the mountains this evening, we noted the throng of pedestrians walking onto the Brooklyn Bridge. The setting sun was the draw. That huge setting sun was a blaze of orange, just sitting at the waters edge. This made for specular views on approach to the bridge while driving. I have never noticed the sun this size before. Too busy not looking up, I guess. I’m not sure what caused it, but it was a sight to behold three days before Christmas!
a huge sun
lolls in evening sky-
shortest day

Midwinter
midwinter gray fades –
the blush of the evening sun
takes command of sky
prelude to solstice, subtle
shift – a lift in spirits
