Bio Sketch
Marion Clarke is from the east coast of Northern Ireland. Growing up surrounded by the scenic shores of Carlingford Lough, the Mourne Mountains and Kilbroney Forest Park, she was destined to write haiku.
The implied analogy between the two parts of the tanka is visually and emotionally effective.
ReplyDeleteAnd the right words in Ls 1&2 could be either of the following situations:
1) The right words for a piece of writing
My suggtesed solution:
the muse’s face
in the "lake of my mind"
I fish for words
rippling
from "our ancient past." :-)

2) The right words for an intimation conversation to be "stimulating and sustained:" :-)
My suggested solution
in "spring rain"
amidst falling cherry petals
the "sounds"
of conversation
"your body and my hands"

Otherwise:
"fossicking"
for gold
I sift
each conversation
for the "love we once had"
