For An Untrimmed Maple
Short Description:
Experimented with the difference between a more personal style and a more formal classical version of the same tanka.
Poem (Canso):
V1
Boughes grown lanky
My neglect frees the maple
Umber banners trail
Would you take down your jet hair
If I turned my eyes away
V2
Boughes grown lanky
My neglect frees the maple
Umber banners trail
At night behind silk curtains
Dancers unpin their jet hair.
