A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.

I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

1:
where is sorrow
if nothing be forgotten?
leave now? but return!
on such a sweet morrow
surely joy will abound

2:
such sweetness
in today's last embrace
blotted tears
only accelerate
the next first kiss

3:
to leave, wherefore?
I cannot part from moonlight
reflecting in your eyes
lovely invitation
no, not to leave!

4:
a hundred times goodnight
I bid the fading sun
your eyes, your soul
keep my image sweet
that I may share the morning

5:
when all is said
gentle words linger on starlight
they do not die
like pain thrusting in my heart
come swiftly sweet dawn!



five Shakespearean tanka on "such sweet sorrow"
