Poetic Musings: Edge Tanka by Chen-ou Liu

alone
on the edge
of a cliff ...
behind my back
the shadow

Honorable Mention, Tanka Section, 2017 British Haiku Society Awards

Chen-ou Liu

Commentary (by the judge, A A Marcoff): Reading this was almost unbearable. It came with bleak, stark, shock


FYI: It might be interesting to do a thematic comparison reading go the following tanka:

alone
at the cliff's edge ...
a shooting star
and yet
this lost dream
