awakening came
slowly, manifestation
of illusion’s veil
lifted as if a dense fog
luminosity presides

You seem to be able to do these poetry challenges flawlessly. I am still thinking about my WAKA and going WAKADOODLE in my attempting to even think I could do it.
GREAT job and BRAVO …!!!

/ August 22, 2011Haha… funny girl! Well I’ve had a little head-start on these–I’ve done a few tanka/waka/haiku before. I really do love these Japanese forms of poetry. It’s challenging to write something meaningful in a few words. The Masters are superb.
Thank you, too–I’m so glad you liked this.
Namaste,
Gayle xoxo
