Twenty-six letters
In the alphabet but not
All of them are in
This poem I have written—
Titled Alphabet Tanka
Tag tanka
Full Moon
Full Moon shining bright
Like a sun of the dark night
Sparkling stars kneel down –
Gems in a diamond-encrusted
Crown of heaven’s sky light
Love Tanka
Raindrops form a trail
Of water running down my
Spine as your eyes leave
Me desiring more of the
Essence of hot liquid love
