dark dusk colored clouds
sweetly secret soft sun shine
loving light beneath
grows like long lonely tendril
poetry upon water

Notes

• Once again, I stuck with the ‘Nature Poet’ virtual magnet set for this poem; but I am ready to move on, I think, particularly because it seems that no changes are made in the sets of word magnets available to me week after week;
• This week, I opted for a tanka, rather than a haiku, which was more challenging, given the limited amount of magnets;
  • Tanka traditionally have a ‘turn’ in the 3^rd line, which I attempted to employ, transitioning from the sun above to its light upon the waters;
• For this particular poem, I drew inspiration from my own haibun, which I wrote just last week;
• That haibun of mine led me to search for and discover the stunning sunset photograph above, which I then attempted to portray in this tanka.
