Tanka

A hail of a bell,
Became softer and softer,
A farewell to sun,
While all flowers of heaven,
Were bloomed near the deep blue sea.

The moon climbed a tree,
To see the fields waving hands.
And to hear the song,
Of the musical zephyr,
Along with the sea's drum beat.

The stars of the sky,
Wink and wink their eyes with shy,
Seeing the flowers,
Of cliffs bowing their small heads,
Before them with affection.

    Your words gave me an impression of walking along the shore at night seeing all of the tulips in bloom in Holland. Feeling the moist breeze off the water. Wonderful imagery. Good write. Thank you. The text has a slow paced meter, like a song in your head. It's interesting, there is no title here??? Makes me curious to know what "Tanka" means.

    This poem was a great relief from all the sad love poems (that I write too lol). Your description paints such a beautiful picture., I very much enjoyed it.
