Darkness – A Tanka Poem

The sound of your voice
echoing through the darkness
is breaking my heart
while I, face wet with tears
am cowering in silence

Witness of War – A Tanka Poem

the shadows saw you
there, hiding in the corner
a brave face, small and
lost within the tourmoil which
shattered many childhood dreams
