Tanka--By Archana Kapoor Nagpal--India

sun’s rays
through bare branches
on my pillow --
I still feel his
warmth
_______________

tattered cirrus clouds
stretch
over a hill top--
we climb holding
hand in hand
_______________

burgeoning
December fog
on the room window --
blow my breath
to write his name
_______________

    Hello, Archana! Beautiful Tanka written with much expression and heartfelt emotion! I love reading these because one has to know what they are intending for the end-result to have a meaning and intention to the reader. A very creative trio of Tanka you have presented. So good always to read you here at Whispers! Sheri / www.poetryandbeyond.net

    Hi Archana,

    You have a gift for painting beautiful imagery with your pen! It's not surprising that you've had six books published and are very active in many venues of the international writing community. Excellent work!

    Best wishes,
    Carolyn
