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.
