The power of awe – tanka

~~~

What’s a poem but
the shell around the heart being
split open by awe

beauty comes out of hiding
and love does a little dance

For the Tuesday Platform at Imaginary Garden for Real Toads

Sensuous Sundays – Moon paeans

.

Did you know
that moonlight writes poems
on pages of grass

tales of anguish
paeans to the mundane
arias of joy

now you know why
the dawn finds the blades of grass
drenched in tears
