The cold is coming

the breeze will bring back old thoughts

of long lost faces

we happily roamed the streets

breathing the air called “midnight”

   I like it. I read this three times, and each time I appreciated something different about it.

   Hi Olivia,

   This was an awesome poem. Thank you for posting it. Many people write haiku, but it isn’t often that I see a tanka! Very creative.
