Five Tanka by Dr. Ranjana Sharan Sinha

a thin crystal glass
and the hazy bottled love 
silent spaces speak
the pale faint moon outside
a constellation of thoughts!


yes the time stands still
amid the stunning splendour 
some fire-like roses
rainbow of your ceaseless thoughts
purple mist of blue roses!


your small image
pops up on the memory screen
feelings touch the chord
I'm lost in a maze of thoughts
an ocean of love!


the pink profusion
today on my heavy heart
yesterday a bliss
the saudades of those moments
hurt me amid scented air!


iconic morning
lo unblocks her abundance
the world is swept off
as she pouts her sun- red lips
love leaps out like a dolphin

Tanka Poems by Lilian Woo


BLAZING SUN 
The blazing sun smiles 
Shining from the distant miles 
I love the brightness 
It brings positivity 
To energise up my day. 
GOLDEN SPLENDOUR  
Morning has broken
Sunrise in golden splendour 
Smiling happily 
Relish the charm and beauty 
Of each wonderful moment.

Tanka Poems by Rajani Mula

Planting wealth for youth
In the magic bowl of mirth
That grows crop of health
Caring generations growth
From the rich womb of the earth!
Life is not cake walk
But strong you can dare to walk
Empower your talk
Enrich skills to face odds bulk
Heed not anyone's false talk!
Feel the air around
Each blossom here speaks of you
The flowers, the air
Everything has greeted you
Lifeless you're without them, dear!

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.
