The Austere Winter - Tanka Poem by Rose Marie Juan-austin

Oh, Wow! .. Ever such emotion and sentiment that flows through this painted imagery! ..

Filled with such deep beauty and soul that is ever so heart moving to read! ..

I love this! .. Endless Endless 10'S And Stars! ..+++++++++++++++++++++++++

ONE: This is a beautiful poem in Tanka format.It seems to describe the harshness of winter, with its cold and forbidding nature..

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.

It's dimply great. You have found out the ascetic in the winter. One who finds poetry in rigid segments of nature is reallya grest poet

Very nice tanka, Rose Marie!

Beautiful imagery in this Tanka. Tfs

The Austere Winter or 'Ascetic winter' here is a king, who Wraps the mountains with silver and calming the seas with peace in long winter nights, such as warrior rests after battle.. these harmontic imageries from the nature is a fabulous gift from our excellent poet Rose.

This is beautifully written.... thanks for sharing...
