raindrops
inch their way
down the pane
joining and separating
our lives
Frameless Sky, June 2017

Bio Sketch
Martha Magenta lives in England, UK. Her haiku, and tanka have appeared in a number of journals, and anthologies. She was awarded Honourable Mentions for her haiku in The Fifth Annual Peggy Willis Lyles Haiku Awards, 2017, and in the 71st Basho Memorial English Haiku Contest, 2017, and for her tanka in UHTS “Fleeting Words” Tanka Contest 2017.
Structurally and syntactically speaking, Martha's thought-provoking poem is a "sentence tanka;" however, thematically speaking, the tension/struggle between the two themes/parts (of our lives) makes the poem/tanka visually and emotionally effective.
