Kind, Sad Eyes (Tanka)

Folder: 
Tanka {Poems}

Bittersweet moments

Within my strong mind and heart

I'll pass down wisdom

So accept with strong-willed hands

As snow falls on the grass.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Tanka.  I remember my Grandma who used to give me good advice.  I'll never forget those kind, sad eyes...

This is a sweet poem. It's good that she meant so much to you and inspired you to write. I'm sure she'd be flattered. I do have a question for you though. What's a Tanka poem?
