The Austere Winter - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin
The Austere Winter - Tanka
Ascetic winter
Wraps the mountains with silver.
It forbids the waves
From dancing in the great seas
And hastily drags the night.

THREE: The night is hastily dragged, could be a metaphor for the long nights of winter. Thank you for sharing this brilliant poem, my dear friend which I have enjoyed tremendously
TWO: The mountains are wrapped in silver, perhaps referring to the snow that covers them. The waves are forbidden from dancing in the great seas, which could represent the stillness of the water during winter.
Fantastic imagery and sophisticated vocabulary! Thank you for this piece of beauty!
