Day 28, NaPoWriMo – Tanka

I may have tried tanka in the past but ran into one elsewhere and thought: thirty-one syllables? Not quite two haiku? I could try that.

Two Tanka for the End of April

A month seeking words
until there are none to be found
the bright ones scooped up
the sad ones lingered over
turned and turned in eager hands.

Writing in April
the daily observations
the last ditch haiku
lined up as hopeful oysters
a month full of poetry.
