I walk in the rain
chestnut flowers all around:
me after
them after me
after them …

Bio Sketch
Steliana Cristina Voicu lives in Ploieşti, Romania and loves painting, poetry, photography and astronomy. She has a bachelor’s degree in Cybernetics, Statistics and Economic Informatics and a master's diploma in Business Support Databases. Her Haiku, Haiga and Tanka have been published in various magazines and anthologies.
This is a beautifully crafted cinematic tanka: Ls 1&2 depict an establishing shot while combined with the technique of repetition, the typographical arrangement of words in Ls 3-5 greatly enhances the visual impact of the poem (chestnut flowers are falling around the speaker while he or she walks in the rain)
