#tankapoem, #tankathursday

Sunrise above the river and trees

my hands hold many
broken pieces of my life
like shattered egg shells
weathered by time and aging
I'm piecing back together

hunting for the egg
that held grandmother's stockings
our golden ticket
cousins and siblings compete
for annual bragging rights
#TankaThursday #tanka

a faded map...
the sound of a flute
in the distance
a robin's egg blue sky
it's later than you think

#tanka #TankaThursday

Delicate eggshells crack
sparrows tremble in bliss
hillside bells ringing
serving as a sign
for the life that just began

unattended
the eggs boil dry
and blacken
the present tense is a lie
I knew nothing in the moment

TANKA
I am not a fan
of pingpong conversations.
Individual
sports allow us to take turns,
take our time, fully present.

Faded photograph,
my pen gives breath to your ghost-
edges blur to gold;
I won't part with what we were,
some loves live past letting go.

by an old tomb
a magpie's eggs
begin to crack
all those promises
I made last New Year

#tanka

A clear and fading blue above a fading full moon in the centre, above pink-tinged lines of cloud, the trace of the treeline in the bottom right corner.

waning moon
hovers above cloud
chicken, egg
endless years of war
I watch the sun...set.

an egg hatching stars
journey through cosmic ether
the Artemis soars
good yolk of discovery
infinity within reach

#TankaThursday

my cuckoo heart — this
strange speckled thing, an egg forced
on me, something I
do not want to raise but which
is bound to me by its hunger

#TankaThursday

brown toad towards the bottom camouflaged with surrounding brown leaves; blurry yellow daffodils in the background

looking down
while some search for neon eggs
I scour for brown
for signs of normal life
that say some things are okay

#TankaThursday prompt: egg #bloomscrolling
first #toad sighting of the year 💚

runny eggs
and mashed chunks
of white bread
my father's dish
googly-egg

#Tanka for #TankaThursday <egg> theme
(not mentioning the prompt word)

you get the yolk
and I get the white
100% protein
denatured, but hey
it’s good for me

maundy thursday
in the hen shack
no eggs
while the moon wanes
rooster crows

the full moon last night …
still mulling over
those eggshells
I walked on

eggs in the hedge wake
hawthorn breathing soft gold light
spring looking for its nest
some rain-marked men following
the slow procession of dawn

two eggs oozing into
a slice of toast at Breakfast
over and around
two at midday with sardines
watched by children through window panes

azure and beige scarf
created by knots in string
crocheted with passion
this is her Zen, mind gets lost
as hands loop yarn like magic

earth to heaven
a surreal knot
steeped in pure love
only a few can forge
such an eternal bond

the mockingbird
dressed in a silver suit
inside his jacket
he reveals how he cuts
the gordian knot

exam season
two physicists
tie the knot
with a cord of
infinite elasticity
