2024 Gypsy's Tanka
: Tempestuous Storm by Gypsy Blue Rose

tempestuous storm  

rages in northern winds

free to choose which mare 

will run with its untamable gust


Author Notes
TANKA In Japan's Imperial Court, lovers exchanged Love Tanka poems after a night together. The response tanka used elements or images from the first tanka poem.

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.
