Sadness - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Sadness - Tanka

Rating: 5.0


The lonely sky weeps
Joins me in sorrow and pain
Defeats my loud cry
By the rage of its thunder
And the sharpness of lightning.

Fater having read this touching poem, I remember your lovely beautiful poem in the past about weeping outside while the wind was wild, so no one could hear the loud weeping. Or may I am wrong, but I thought that I still know that poem, not this, but nature is the great subject in it.

I apologize, this first word must be AFTER, that's my dyslexia in typing the words.
