'Reflections' Tanka Poem by Res John Burman

'Reflections' Tanka



The window reflects
Dove and sparrows eating grain
Busier than I

They eat the seed I buy ~ but
I have the best of the deal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mirror reflects
My own face but much older
There is something wrong

Why can't it portray my face
Without the sorrow showing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
