[driftwood tanka]
see the scoop
from a yellow toy dump truck
beside a toilet seat,
under a sun pulling teeth
from the cold February wind

Far stars and dust
Unfortunately
the world is always on fire,
far stars dazzle and call.
But our feet?
Still all dust crusted.
October Yardwork Tanka
This one isn’t in #92Tanka but I still really like the form. There’s a lot of room to dance in any form as long as you understand what the “rules” are really for.
By the way, don’t forget to order your copy of 92 TANKA now.
