under the straw hut
lovers waiting for a storm
contemplate the moles
on one another's shoulders
delicate tamari drops

This is a very beautiful tanka, full of imagery and emotions. So pretty set with the lovely background, thank you so much.

A beautiful tanka, it feels very traditionally Japanese. I easily slip into this scene you've painted, a simple thought and image given so much life. Best of luck in the contest.
