What's left tanka

what's left
by the rain today
this chill
i feel on my skin
you on yours

Touching the ground haiku

c'mon withered leaves!
I feel my feet touching
the ground so alive

Younger Dylan tanka

feeling the age
crawling under my skin
what's in afterlife
i wish for a guitar
and younger Dylan

aku merasa
makin tua saja
di kehidupan setelah mati
semoga ada gitar
dan Dylan muda

*Thank to Kirsty Karkow, my fellow poet in Tanka@yahoogroups.com

Longer alley haiku

feels much longer now
the alley I am walking on in
my late dad's slipper

makin terasa panjang
lorong yang kususuri dengan sandal
mendiang bapakku

Memorabilia tanka

the day you promised
not to leave me forever
feels like yesterday
in my cabinet, a box full
of memorabilia

seperti baru kemarin
kau berjanji tak kan pernah pergi
di lemariku,
satu kardus penuh
memorabilia berdebu

Caress of nights haiku

feeling you
the caress of nights
on crow's feather

merasakanmu
seribu malam mengusap
bulu gagak

Bad dream haiku

awaken
from bad dream, why
feel so incomplete

terbangun
dari mimpi buruk, entah kenapa
rasanya ada yang kurang

Sour tamarind haiku

tell me
how it feels to be
sour tamarind


ceritakan kepadaku
seperti apa rasanya menjadi
asam kecut
