Haiku and Tanka

Haiku

Hear rain fall
On an old slate roof
Beautiful music



Tanka.

Timeless we are
The fertile green field and I
Entwined we’ll sleep
Till rain awakes us again
And winter is behind us



Senryu

A brittle glass star
Fell off a christmas tree
And night descended




Tanka

No electricity
Night’s fearful, has no street light
Wants to come in
I have lit many candles
I’m, the master of the world.
