collecting stones
from the river
where I was baptized
moonlight
washes over me

Just lovely! What a smooth turn from L3 through L5. Great tanka Aubrie.
Very nice indeed. I find myself identifying with this poem, and on more than one level. And also, I had thought Tinywords had folded and am glad to see it is alive.

Lovely image of what was and is now.

Lovely little poem. Hope you keep up the good work. I'd love to read a longer one based in a fantasy world!
