God’s Symphony – A Tanka

Clouds gather around

Distant sound of thunder calls

Inviting the rain

A dance chaperoned by nature

Waltzing to God’s symphony

  1. And now my real comment. As I am always amazed by the raw talent you have with emotional poems, I need to ask you an opinion. Should all poetry collections be themed, or can you organise them randomly? Opinion please:)

    • Thank you Ionia for the really sweet comment and what a great question. I think you could probably create a poetry collection of random themes if they were the same form of poetry for example haiku or sonnets. That would give the collection some “glue” to hold it together. In the case of free verse or a combination of forms I would probably keep them of a like theme or do it in chapters with poems of similar themes so that the poems in the collection have something in common. This of course is just my opinion. I actually was thinking of putting together a collection of the tankas that I have written grouped into chapters or sections based on their themes hoping that it would work well that way.
