A review of James Tipton's's book of tanka All the Horses of Heaven / Todos los Caballos del Paraiso
in The Pedestal Magazine

This late spring
all day long
I wanted to change
into a lilac blossom--
one thing she loves.

Looking for flowers
on the Fourth of July
I discovered two
just ready to blossom
under her red blouse.

The secret of long life?
Live simply. Love God.
Sit in the sun
and recite poems
to sensual and receptive women.

i love the examples you chose, especially the first one, i will use it in spring, when i will show you lilac blossoms again, you know that this can't be avoided :-)
I will look forward to this. I remember your lilac pictures from last spring ... don't even try to avoid it, please :-)
