Third Place
by the seashore
echoes in the wind--
your whispers
from the depths
i feel them as a calling
Cristian Matei

I love the emotional quality of this tanka. The seashore has always spoken to me. and the depths ever present. I love that here they are felt not just calling, but as "a calling"! This is more than an allure, It is an imperative. What must we do? And why. There is mystery here. The personal quality of the call is held in the tanka, where mystery so beautifully resides.
the evening falls
over the linden in bloom--
the fragrance
shaping your face
drawn from my memory

Lyrical and evocative, the powerful fragrance brings the poet to a creative ecstasy. The words "shape" and :"drawn" are exquisitely used. The face is drawn out of the past in memory and perhaps, could even be a drawing (drawn) artwork itself.
