walking tonight
no streetlights guide our footsteps
dark country road
yet soft shimmering moonlight
surrounds us like fairy dust

Carpe Diem's Tanka Splendor is part of the Carpe Diem Haiku Family. It's a weekly tanka-meme in which you can write and share tanka inspired on a given prompt every Saturday (mostlty, sometimes it will be on another day).
Haiku inspired (mostly) by my walks in and around Eastbourne
Often rough and filled with switchbacks, the road this child of God is traveling Home.

Did it ad will have to remember for future to put up the originals … didn’t today either … the funny thing is … when I go back looking for the original, sometimes I can’t find it … I don’t mean that I’ve overwritten it .. never . I just don’t remember where I put the darn folder!

Wow — now that is a HUGE difference!!!!! You lose the vineyard detail, but you gain a heck of a lot of drama, color-wise. The gamble paid off!!!
