trees talk to the moon
walk arm in arm with the breeze
wave among the stars
branches leave notes in the air
sky and earth sing the souls song

Indeed a well written tanka...the natural imagery is lovely and enjoyable. I love this form...however I usually write them pertaining to life and situations rather than nature itself. I guess my instructor wrote them in that manner and I got away from writting the in the forms of nature...you have made me realize just how beautiful they are when writen on that subject.
I do wish you much luck in writing...you most certainly have talent.

This piece was full of imagery and flowed well. It was one of the most detailed tankas I have yet to lay eyes on. The form was represented wonderfully by your syllable count. Keep up the great work and good job in the contest!

This is so soothing. I did hear the swish of trees immediately, and the "S"es of the last line echo that sound beautifully. Best of luck in the contest.

Oh thank you, I am lonely living in the neon life of humanity. I must read now to feel alive. When once I only had to walk to be alive . I must now remember, I am blinded by the man-made sights.

Thank you my teacher. I am happy to read your thoughts. I wonder with fear at humanities cruelty. I talk to the trees and they listen, calming me. May soft breezes let you hear, Annie

A very soothing Tanka and so calm on the mind as one reads it. You have captured the moments so well - the trees walking arm in arm, yes branches leave notes, doesnt it sound like a song being sung to our soul, then why do we turn to nature for healing? I appreciate everything written on nature and this is marvellous. The alliteration in the last line makes this even beautiful. wonderful job Anne!
Love and light,
Lencio
