Pad of Butter On (Tanka)

sunset over snow covered mountains

pad of butter on

toasted bread cup of green tea

thoughts twist and turn in

dawn light a sip a bite of

memories waking screaming

In San Francisco (Tanka)

March 3, 2024April 6, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
concrete building

in San Francisco

the rain pours wind rips clouds sail

it’s March I drink tea

in early mornings at home

seagulls cry cable car dings


Written in Tanka form, I’m dabbling a bit here. What do you think? Leave a comment.
