Closet in Two Tanka

Musty closet calls
Things tumble out, rumpled dreams
Time to air things out.
Here’s an old dream – toss it out.
This one’s soft, so wear it now.
Open doors, comb through
Pick this concept, try it on!
Where’d I get that hat?
Try this on for size right now
When things fit, stroll out in them.

Unmaking (A Tanka)

By Vijaya Sundaram
Old thoughts lie broken
Stone-piles along flowing stream
Think I’ll make a bridge.
Make it to the other side,
Unbridging my stony thoughts.

Secret Season – Tanka #2

Bees buzz in sunshine
The Season of Secrets comes;
Blossoms everywhere!
See your child unfurl her wings;
Wonder at her secret smile.

Today, a Cold Sun (Tanka #1)
©March 5th, 2016
By Vijaya Sundaram
Today, a cold sun
Breaks upon my window-pane.
Shards of blue scatter.
I sit mute, keys a-tapping,
Awaiting winter or spring.
