Tanka
Autumn is passing
how autumn ages
the hoar frost creates white fields
crunch along the path
soon autumn will just pass on
youthful winter soon begins
When nothing is certain anything is possible
life happens . . .

Wow! I am a fan of Tanka Poems as well, they carry so much of imagery and is just like one writing images! You have done an incredible job with this. I liked how you personified Autumn here and the changes in weather is depicted so aptly here! Awesome tanka for sure! Thanks for participating Bastet, its amazing to see you guys write for the challenge.
Regards!

Happy you enjoyed this tanka. I really love the Japanese poetry forms. They fit in well with my personal way of writing…short and to the point. Although I do like the tradtonal European styles as well…actually…I like writing poetry, even when I write prose 😉
