A gentle caress
Awakens me from slumber
Like an angels touch
Sent down from Heaven above
To salvage this tortured soul

So. you know I LOVE your Tanka’s, yes?
I was thinking of doing a spoken word post, full of YOUR Tankas.
May I?-
You absolutely may, I would be honored. :)

Thank you so much, as if you couldn’t tell, I really love writing this form. :)

it is said (i am paraphrasing) that many great things come in little packages – a haiku, tanka – they are like little packages. I just read a paiku earlier:) Did not know a paiku exists!

I had no idea, I’ve never heard of a paiku. That is one that I’m going to have to check into.

Thank you very much, how nice of you to say. :)
I was going to try and be my usual, funny self and say to relax, it was probably just your cat brushing up against you, not an angel … but that would detract from your poem too much. It is lovely Dominic, a really great visual through your words and I especially liked the last line. Nice to imagine our souls can be salvaged.

The humor would have been fine, I have 5 dogs so maybe it really was one of them. I get confused sometimes. :) Thanks for the read, as always it is most appreciated.
