'Life And Death In The Forest' Tanka Poem by Res John Burman

'Life And Death In The Forest' Tanka



'Bamboo'

When darkness settles
And the wind forgets to blow
The trees are silent

But no matter how quiet
The bamboo always rustles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'The Fallen Beech'

So quiet she lies
Stretched upon her leafy bed
Resting in the sun

A monument to her life
A Greater Serenity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
