the somber heart weeps

hit by emotional storm

pen scribbles in vain

the deluge of tears ink

a melancholic saga.

    Absolutely fabulous Tanka poem, Radhika. This line: “…the deluge of tears ink…” is excellent. The imagery really gets across the sadness. Wow! ❤

    Soon the sun will shine again,
    The storm will be of joy

    Well done Radhika!
    Despondency evokes
    a million thoughts that calm emotions
    inking journals.
