Driftwood - A Tanka Poem (original poem)
I do so like driftwood
It is aged and calcified
With a dry brittleness
and a battered skin
That crackles; Feels like wisdom
(The Japanese tanka is a thirty-one-syllable poem, traditionally written in a single unbroken line. A form of waka, Japanese song or verse, tanka translates as “short song," and is better known in its five-line, 5/7/5/7/7 syllable count form.)
This was the Fourth of five photos paired with original poems created exclusively for this special exhibit.
