Double Tanka (per contest description)

A chapter in the book Picture Poems

Fall's Forage

by Treischel



Sweet nature's staples
Apples fallen on the ground
Where several rot
Forgotten as seeds or food
Underfoot as fall's debris


But then, some may not
Become forsaken, and thus
Remain unheeded
By deer and bear or squirrel
For they become fall's forage

Tanka Poetry Contest contest entry


The contest allows for more than one stanza. The rules did not specify all the esoteric Japanese rules related to a Tanka, so I am going by the description provided.

Pays one point and 2 member cents.
