Lucid dreams of you
dance in my tormented mind
invoking grief
that I thought was long gone
like footprints beneath the snow.

Author Notes
Lucid dreams happen when you are asleep but aware that you're dreaming, they feel vivid and real.
MODERN TANKA is a romantic Japanese poetic form that originated in the Japanese Imperial Court, where men and women engaged in courtship would exchange tanka. The form was created 1,200 years ago. Like haiku, it's written in a succinct manner in 31 syllables (5/7/5/7/7) OR LESS in a short/long/short/long/long format. Personification, metaphor, simile are permitted in Tanka. Capitalization and punctuation should only be used when necessary. No end rhymes. click here if you want to see modern tanka examples -- click here if you want to read free online tanka book -- click here to read Tanka Society of America
