Tanka--By Muskaan Ahuja--India

still there
the dust
on the sofa
i recall our
old memories

walking straight
with his thoughts
behind someone
a glimpse of
him

  1. Nice compositions, Muskaan. I wish you to read the beautiful Japanese short form of poems posted in different websites. For Tanka, please go through the classical archives at Aha Poetry and scholarly essay by Jane Reichhold.
