with the touch of a finger
frost feathers on glass melt
fading like frozen dreams

on a cold grey morning
I linger and remember

    I find a renga or tanka, [ never quite know the difference] very hard to composr. You did well to assemble the two disparate parts into a whole.

      Thanks, lately I've had a hard time writing tanka. For a while they were my favorite form.

    Thanks Lolly, I'm always looking to learn more about writing and what works and what doesn't. It helps to know what area of the poem weakens it and ways to make it stronger. I will have to think on this one to try and improve it. :0)
