He (TANKA)

he sits on the roof
I watch his face filled with pain
deep inside his heart
remainings of shattered love
piercing terribly within.

his heart so tender
it cries but his tears unseen
they dried long ago
he pass his days collecting
pieces of his scattered heart.

a very evocative poem...great lines...love it. suggestions: remainings = remains pass = passes why do you need a full-stop after each stanza?

This is a beautifully expressed and phrased double Tanka poem, Priyanka, and as usual, it is flawlessly written. Carl.
