tanka

 

yesterday’s kitten

now the stalking lioness—

quiet as a May wind

 

stalking light-stepped, eyes narrowed

with patience, with certainty ?

 

 

 ~

 

 

the first three line are from 10/29/16

for my dear friend Eunkyo

 

the last two lines are new

Hehe...
Who are You people?
A person or a flock
of word magicians..<3
"Sluta Tanka" was my
favorite heard expression in the
late 90's
Shouted from deep space
of the CS-trenches
by her brother
on the second floor
Unexplainable now
but Nora in Ibsen
still understands...

A word!
It's fuckin crazy, man! :)

I prefer the original haiku, but the additions make it cuter

I liked the way you've taken a Haiku into a Tanka, and I thought the added two lines extended the theme nicely. Nice one!
