Thick Mud (Tanka) Poem by Vassilis Comporozos

Thick Mud (Tanka)



Thick mud on the grass.
How many seeds underneath
in silent elation

prepare their great revolution
out of soil's dark recesses.

tanka = a form of Japanese poetry, in a stanza of 5-7-5-7-7-syllable lines
Basically I write in Greek, my mother tongue, but, being an EFL teacher, I adore English, both modern and middle English and I feel that English is perfect for haikus and tankas!
