The Abandoned Place - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

The Abandoned Place - Tanka

Rating: 4.8


No man's sounds at all
Only the gentle swishing
Of leaves in the trees
The rhythmic chirping of birds
And the whistling of the wind.

Part 3---Instead of talking trash, you give us God's earth to contemplate and behold in all its beauty. Top marks, my dear poet

The sound of mankind can be so ugly--with its talk of hate, war, racism, sexism, all the-isms that paint our lives a dirty smelly poisonous gray

Better than a picture, better than a film, your poetic description not only perfectly alive but also full of the emotion from the excellent poetry, derrived. To my favorites, **********

Wonderful poem- tanka - rhythmic and full of joy - the sound of nature - the gentle swishing of leaves, the chirping of birds and the whistling wind....a bliss of solitude.
