Away Tonight. (Tanka)







away tonight
outside your arms
I find Autumn
is slowly ageing
not only the leaves

    Thank you Tina and rose,
    being English I get away with ageing, both are acceptable here, the aging and ageing can be used.

    This is really interesting and pretty, though is ageing spelled that way. I am pretty sure that it is supposed to be aging. Not a word I usually use, but that's what I think. Anyway, it creates such a lovely feel and vision.

    Resonating

    Yes, I get it Very beautiful, sad and romantic on a deep level. An excellent tanka here with a wonderful and colourful pivot(L3) that yet makes the poet feel lonely and that something very vital to his happiness is missing. Nice one.

    Best wishes on Halloween,
    Charishma

    ageing should be aging. drop the e.

    this is sad, reminiscent of life and things gone. This time of year makes one feel that way, as seasons change and the world outside dies and grows cold, we reflect on our own life.

    Excellent work as always.
