2024 Gypsy's Tanka
: You Gave Me Life by Gypsy Blue Rose
For all the mothers

you gave me life

   and asked nothing in return—

for your sweet embrace

 where I slept peacefully and safe,

no one can replace your place

 

 
 
 
 

Author Notes
My mother died when I was 10 years old and nobody has taken her place in my heart. Nobody loves like a mother does. Happy Mother's Day!

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.

Pivot lines are a feature in Japanese tanka and are often a feature of English tanka. A pivot line, is usually written on line 3 click here if you want to read modern tanka examples * click here to join the Tanka Society of America * click here if you want to read modern tanka rules
