Whiskey (Reverse Tanka)

Whiskey eyes smoulder
From beneath a raven fringe
Intoxicating
Never did like the headaches
Which is why I quit drinking

Thank you for reading

Vampire (Tanka Poetry)

Written for Tourmaline .’s Halloween Challenge

This undead passion
Tis a double-pronged assault
Biting down gently
These memories born of blood
Flowing through eternity

Thank you for reading

heavy these moments
of enforced dusk and darkness
softly falling stones
drums beating out the timelines
of different lives and places
