(Tanka) by Sara Etgen-Baker
Member-at-large
sitting in silence
the fog of all this living
slowly dissipates
like clouds clearing at sunset
like longing when it finds home

very nice tanka. It is clean and precise. I love the last line. the poem follows to a concise conclusion.
Haunting, Sara, an especially satisfying last line, and beautiful work with the tanka form.
Nice imagery expressing a feeling.
The ideas of peace and hope are beautifully articulated in this short poem. That’s hard to do, Sara!
Lovely poem . It captures the serenity of the moment.
