Tanka - Man Made and Natural


Through the sea foam waves,
the orca rise from the deep.
Puffins flap above.
Sea lion pups bleed and die.
Thus, the way of life and death.


But life comes in forms.
Forms of poetry and truth.
Nature is ruthless,
and bears witness to the truth.
Poetry softens the forms.
