Tanka…Nobe Okuri 野辺送り
a neighbor’s
funeral in new year week
fluffy snow flowers
from heaven
falling on his coffin…

My answer:
haiku #1518
snowflakes from heaven
a winter coat of sadness
covers his coffin

Rika Inami is a well-known tanka poet who writes in her language and English. She takes walks in her native Japan taking photos and composing tanka about them. She’s also a friend of mine and a very sweet lady.
She posts her work daily on Google Plus and if you answer her work she’ll post it on her blog. This was my answer to her photo (above) and tanka.
