Sprinkling bits of earth
Mahogany coffin gleams
Sunlight contemplates
My heated cheeks, icy eyes
Let his spirit find no peace
I’ve taken on another of Colleen’s Tanka Tuesday challenge. This week’s challenge was to write a Tanka poem (5/7/5/7/7) with the words ‘peace’ & ‘spirit’ in it. Conjures up holiday feels, right? So, naturally, I went a little dark.
