Our Last Vacation

furious winds rage
through narrow gorge valleys
of forgotten canyons
where ancient streams cut stone —
there ... our impossible love dies



 

Recognized

Author Notes
Gorge is a narrow valley between mountains, with steep rocky walls and a stream running through it.

Tanka is one of the oldest types of Japanese poetry. It begun in the Emperial Court, where lovers exchanged a tanka after a night of lovemaking.

Tanka in Japan, is 31 syllables in a 5/7/5/7/7 form, but in English is 31 syllables OR LESS

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
