Tanka - Understanding Poem by Eddie Roa

Tanka - Understanding

Rating: ★5.0


You don’t have to say
Sorry for your surly moods
Felt by nods and looks
Knowing what each gesture meant
No malice in thoughtless acts

Another thought-provoking piece Eddie. I like the tanka form - I nod to you (but not in surly mood) . Mark
