I am sharing these tanka with you because I found them to be especially clear and deep. Enjoy. Leslie
if this then that
easy to get stuck on the that
morning meditation
I try to work my way back
to the if this
I speak
my friend is silent
we listen hard
for the tone created
when our differences touch

feeling misunderstood
by a friend
I regain
my sense of being
homeless in English

sits heavy when my spirit
is off kilter-
cheerfulness
breathes home into my house

early I arise
to enjoy
the cooling shade of
a leafy tree
and a spacious mind
