A lone writer’s desk
With sheets of paper scattered,
Unfinished stories
Ideas float in the air
Little glowing flames of thought

A drop of black ink
Spouts letters by the thousands
Sparks begin to rain
An inferno soon alights
Ending unfinished stories

What can I say? Tankas may be my favorite kind of poem to write, this one being about what I love to do.
