cold moon above
vast ocean below
share a winter glow —
as my body aches with wistful awe
and my soul bursts with love

Author Notes
Cold Moon on Dec. 15 = This is the month when the winter cold fastens its grip, and the nights become long and dark. moon calendar
Tanka is a Japanese unrhymed poem, but this modified tanka rhymes. Tanka is arranged in five lines. English tanka has 31 syllables or LESS because Japanese and English syllables differ. Tanka originated in the 6th century at the Japanese Imperial Court where lovers exchanged tanka poems for each other after a night of passionate lovemaking. With contemporary tanka the topic varies.
