A Little Girl At The Cemetery (Tanka)

Rating: 5.0


kneeling on the graves
amongst purple irises
reading epitaphs—
she ascends poetic realms
communing with the spirits

Very nice. Executed in perfect tanka form. Well done, Mihaela.

I visualize this scene! This little girl must be enamored by the silence and serenity of the grave and probably one among her dear ones must be sleeping there! This poem has got a kind of eerie beauty!

There is no place so poetically realigning than a cemetery. Paradigms and perspectives all fall into place between the stones and epitaphs. A very enjoyable piece, and deftly rendered. Bravo. :)

No pun is intended, but this is a haunting Tanka
