Tanka published in Quadrant

 In Poems

The March 2009 issue of Quadrant magazine contains 4 of Andrew’s poems, including the following tanka (a traditional Japanese poetic form):

 

Sheep

 

Only three days since

they were shorn and already

their whiteness is gone.

Still, who of us has managed

even that long in this world?
