three words
then an awkward silence
between us...
the woodpecker's knock
echoing through the forest
And this silence speaks more than words....Superb tanka, I enjoyed it 10++

I would like to translate this poem
My first encounter with a Tanka. I wote some Haikus in my poem Seven Farm Haikus. I like the 5 lines better. I may have to try it. Nice job. Thanks
