Single dad tanka

you'll never know
how hard it is to be
a single dad
think about the sparrows
hold up the winging

Painful guitar tanka

I wrote this tanka shortly after I played Santana on my player. Easily it seized me, and I just could not resist the temptation to write this.

windy evening
i rehearse new song
on my guitar
the pain you left lately
stiffens my fingers

petang berangin
kulatih lagu baru
pada gitarku
pedih yang kau tinggalkan
bekukan jemariku
