Contemporary Tanka (rules in my author notes)
A chapter in the book 2024 Gypsy's Tanka
Life After Life
by Gypsy Blue Rose
for Dean Kuch, may he rest in peace
life after life I search for my loving wife while unable to die — drenched with sorrow and blood others' pain for mine
I’m a monster not worthy of her love I kill again and again— unable to stop I bargained my soul to find her
|
The poem is based on the Bram Stoker's Dracula novel and movie. I love it. Dean Kuch and I shared love for this movie, and horror in general. The picture is from the Dracula movie with Garry Oldman and Winona Ryder.

TANKA has its seeds in the human heart and mind. IT grows into the myriad leaves of words and phrases expressing what the poet thinks and feels in her or his heart. Tanka are beautifully lyrical and they are often about love, loss, longing, and similar aspects of our emotional lives, The poems are deeply passionate. Women poets were committed to a life of both religious consciousness and erotic intensity.
