on my kite ...
all those people
I let go
without realizing

Bio Sketch
An avid practitioner of the Japanese short forms of poetry, Praniti Gulyani aspires to become a full time writer when she grows up. She has published a print collection of haiku, and an ebook of haibun, both of which have been reviewed by world renowned haiku poets.
The contrasts, thematic, emotional, and symbolic..., between the two parts of the tanka (the tug of the wind on my kite vs no tug of memory at my heartstrings) are poignantly effective.
