Tanka poems by Kayla

sparrow gets away

the calico cat

flicks her tail

signaling

another day gone bad



not by tragedy

nor fear, nor evil

unconcerned

the honey bee collects her honey

the mockingbird sings her song



night stillness

hearing deer move

through the darkness

leaves rustling

and sticks cracking



spring

seeing purple crocus

peeking through brown grasses

such beauty

from tiny seeds



pine tree branch

a red tail hawk looking at me

me looking back

pleased

to share her space



bright

beautiful baby blue

summer sky

the color

of her eyes



a worm

struggles on the sidewalk

pushing away

the terrible effects

of the sun



through woodlands

through mountains

on our life's journey

through all that's beautiful

we nourish our spirit



a special needs

little girl struggles to walk

our smiles embrace

i want to hug her

i want to heal her



words on a tomb stone

as i am now

you shall be

prepare in time

to follow me
