Tanka of J. Zimmerman first published in Eucalypt

Note: for first publication, these poems followed the "house style" of Eucalypt, omitting capitalization at the start of a poem or sentence and omitting any full stop at the end of a poem or sentence. However, on this web page the author's preferred punctuation is used. Also, sometimes a poem's wording is 'improved' from the published version.

Eucalypt issue 4, 2008.


     Storms this morning
     keep me home recycling
     inessential documents,
     discarding yet again
     all those people I once was.

     Wintry surf
     tosses rocks, kelp, and salty grit ...     
     their racket
     blanks out all chance to catch 
     your next wise advice.
