Tanka Journal poet

Maryam Qureshi

Departure of SpringFlowers ready to witherUnder barren touch....Homecoming of bare AutumnThe festival of red leaves

Exit of the SunLeaves behind an empty skyTo be taken upBy beautiful silver moonAdvent of the starry night

Very peaceful nightReflection of the bright moonOn the distant stream...Is appearance of fair ladyIn the plain silver mirror

Delights of AutumnDevastating and fragileCompany of treesAre busy merrymakingIn an old house balcony

Calm night of winterSnowy trees standing kindlyUnder pale moonlightAre souls of the pious saintsPaying divine reverence
