Splashes of Autumn – Tanka: LAPC & SSC

Splashes of autumn

Splashes of autumn
Along verdant waterways
Beside winding roads
Within ancient lava beds
The glorious frocks of fall

Splashes of autumn
Fall leaves
Fall leaves in lava rock

Bark – Tanka poem

Bark

Protects hidden hearts

With tough layers of texture

Clinging and peeling

And revealing small glimpses

Of tenderness deep within
