New Tanka
1)temple bells
chiming all the day
day long tolls
warping a hope
ringing out the blues
2) drums beat
much show on stage thrall
deafening sound while
my mobile’s ringtones
submerge into missed calls
3)she
weaves dexterous
on her
embroidery frame
name of
her sibling
somewhere
in similar vein
remembers
her mother’s care
4)grandma knits
the whole day and spins
the cut threads
making baby pillow
soft and velvet like
5) biting
chill
engulfs her with her babe
roll of rags and leaves
commoner’s
luxury for
all times
and seasons caring.
6)
arriving late
on rainy day to
clinic
she sees
agony
stamping in life’s entourage
as of her
shade during young
7) plucking
a rose
with
deft fingers before due
feel
of poignant pain
causing a premature end
much same
for human alike
8) a construction site
not brick
and mortar alone
anguished
cry of the
soul spent
of life time of
choice
he relives his life again
