Whispering cold breeze
licks at the skeleton trees
mingles with the tweets
from the birds scouring for worms
new birth on the horizon

About Writing
Most people talk about things that bother them as a way to vent their emotions, another way is through writing. As I sit writing in my car, I ponder how much writing, in itself, has helped me become the person I am today. I have endless amounts of pages filled with poems, stories, and sometimes random blurbs. Writing is a window into your soul. The simple action of writing has benefited me; by helping me to achieve a better memory, helping me to learn and grow intellectually, and helping me to communicate my emotions.

I didn't know about Waka poem, thanks for sharing
This feels wonderful
Well-wrought! And thanks for sharing the note on the less common form. An extension of the Haiku?
This was so wonderful! I've not heard of a Waka before. You executed it so brilliantly!
