Night ~ Tanka


The night puddles
under the oak tree
in broken stars and shadows,
the wind painting a Monet
with its branches.

For some reason, this poems holds a bit of mystery for me. Nice flow.
Tanka and picture coalesce.

It is a Monet, no wait, it's a Clevenger and a bleepin' good one!

This is excellent, Susie. I especially like your use of the word 'puddles' and 'broken'. They add such depth to a short piece.
