Attic World Tanka Poem by Chen-ou Liu

last light
on the horizon...
snowflakes drift
into the silence
of my attic world

Tanka Origins Editor's (an'ya's) Commentary: Leave it to a well known tanka poet Chen-ou to always create "atmosphere" in his tanka, as well as give us superb visuals. This is the kind of tanka you can step right into literally. Upon reading I was immediately enjoying the silence of that attic world right alongside this author watching that "last light on the horizon"; this tanka makes good use of bringing nature indoors.
