Noisy Fish Market – Tanka Poem by Anita Bacha

Noisy fish market

Sellers shouting aloud

Hurried to sell fast

The fresh catch of the day

Buyers bargain best price

riot police fires
the demonstrators disperse –
a child left behind
smoke and silence on the streets
nobody hears him crying

Footsteps – Tanka – A Poem by Anita Bacha

Autumn walk

Sound of footsteps

Crunching leaves

Echo loudly

In the stillness

Anita Bacha

Footsteps is the prompt of #TankaSocietyofAmerica for this week #TankaThursday and #TankaPoem

I was walking to the bakery to buy bread for breakfast and was deep in thought.Suddenly I heard the sound of my footsteps crunching fallen brown leaves 🍂. Simultaneously my Apple in my jacket pocket notified me of the above prompt.

I immediately jot down the above short piece on my iPhone and posted it as quick as lightning ⚡️

My feelings when I did so were ‘ I was living the peace and quietness of an Autumn walk away from the maddening crowds interrupted unduly by my boots, fallen leaves and my iPhone.

Thank you for reading,my friends.

Happy start of the week
