the smell
of hotel soap on my hands -
this unsettled feeling
Ingredients - my published haiku, tanka, haibun and the occasional piece of writing that fits none of those categories.

there is something
that I want, very much, to do
it might help
if I knew
what it was
This is not a tanka, but it may be a kyoka
that I want, very much, to do
it might help
if I knew
what it was
This is not a tanka, but it may be a kyoka

What I would do if... a tanka sequence
if I had wings
I would land
in a flurry of feathers
on your lawn
one sunset
when you
came to see
what caused the sound
I would gather you up
in a feathery embrace
I would
carry you away
over the hills
across the borders
to a land between
in a place so strange
a girl with wings
would come alive
because you could
believe in her
when I brought you
home
I would beat my wings
like birds do
when coming in to land
if I had wings
I would land
in a flurry of feathers
on your lawn
one sunset
when you
came to see
what caused the sound
I would gather you up
in a feathery embrace
I would
carry you away
over the hills
across the borders
to a land between
in a place so strange
a girl with wings
would come alive
because you could
believe in her
when I brought you
home
I would beat my wings
like birds do
when coming in to land
