Tanka Poems by Lilian Woo

Breezy Night 
In the breezy night 
Winds caressing in silence 
Moon is gleaming bright 
Stars are glittering above
Giving colours of the night. 

Flow of Rhythm  
Clasping of sea waves
Rushing to the golden shore
Seagulls soaring high 
Listen to the song they sing
Melodic flow of rhythm. 

Golden Sands 
Waves kissing the shore
Slowly retrieves back to sea
Water shimmering 
Sunshine giving reflections 
Seashells lay on golden sands. 

Gorgeous sunflowers 
Gorgeous sunflowers 
Facing the radiant sun
Bright yellow petals
Smiling, blooming in splendor
Nectar storing deep within. 

Gift of Freedom 
Above the blue sky
The gentle doves are flying 
Amazing delight
Dancing gracefully in pairs
Enjoy the gift of freedom.
