Tanka, a poetry form I have never attempted, but as I am eager to learn new forms... One Stop Poetry is offering small lessons on Mondays of various forms and a chance to be given feedback. Here is my attempt.
scarlet skies linger
gazing on green majesties
reaching to touch her
effervescant eyes bequeath
beauty within star filled nights
resting within her
open arms welcome morning
scarlet skies lingering still
