Cool Moon – A Tanka Poem by Anita Bacha

Beyond scalding heat,

Drifting in the lush blueness, 

A luscious cool moon;

Lying on the sandy beach,

Soft ripples caress my toes.

Anita Bacha

Happy reading my dear friends.

Be yourself

The moon shines because it does not escape the night;

The rose 🌹 is scented because it has embraced the thorn.
