Tanka - The Countryside's Red River Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Tanka - The Countryside's Red River



first trip to countryside
where aunty splashed in joy
in the flowing red water
she called out to me, called out to me
and i could hear her still

inspired by

Tanka 05
saw the country
and returned—now deep at night
I lie in bed and
fields of mustard flowers
bloom before my eyes
Masaoki Shiki
