Life and death are all part of our life journey. Each are required. Thank you, again, for sharing another beautiful presentation. We are so blessed that you're here on FanStory with us.

This was a meaningful tanka, Gypsy. Your words were meant to be successful. The picture of the monk sitting crossed legged on the rock made sure of that. The sunset and dusk the fooling morning. Remember it well. Blessed Be n Hugs!!!

Another fine poem, Gypsy, and doesn't bit seem like people are so focused on a utopian afterlife that they forget about trying to make the life we have now better for everyone?

That's a great way to illustrate death and resurrection. The new day with the sunrise is one picture of a re-creation of a brand new day after the death of the previous one.

What a zen feeling poem. I liked the angle of the monk. I felt as if I was watching this. Man and nature merging together. Beautifully written. Gretchen

as i have a tendency to use "as" a lot, too
^
like right there LOL

maybe delete the 'as' in the fourth line?

monk basks in the sun
contemplating the meaning
of life after death--
the sun sets at night
and rises the following day

just a thought for you to kick around lol

good tanka with nice imagery
thank you for sharing
shelley :)
