flowers has blossomed
roses are flooding my thoughts
sent one to my love
please write me back the same way
show me the garden in you
sea blues warm our soul
the birds sing along with us
drinking lemonade
you hold up your rose to me
i'm happy that you are mine
leaves become orange
it's the beginning of fall
we cling onto hope
but roses wither, my love
and this is the end for us
december rolls by
white blankets cover the floor
the stars have failed me
what strangers we are again
farewell, my dear lifeless rose
author's note:
I did this as I was procrastinating and ignoring my Filipino activity (sorry miss if you see this.) This is a purely experimental piece since I am not that experienced in tanka. SO!! this may probably suck really badly. I haven't even been in a relationship so this whole piece is quite literally a big experiment. However let me still explain what this piece is about. This a four tanka poem about the four stages of a relationship set on the four seasons. Hope you enjoyed it. MWAH <3
