Based on Chinese Poetics
moonlit pond…
are frogs asleep
tonight?
flower moon --
its eyes on the flowing clouds
a frog
this frog
crouches on a lotus leaf --
reciting Basho
the frog
shatters the moon’s face...
alone by the pond

Poetic Musings: Cosmetics Tanka by Margaret Chula
-
those half-used tubes
of her cosmetics
why did I keep them?
rubbing in face cream
I feel my mother’s bones
