agony of birth
New life awaits an entry
watching the old fall
labor pain with pangs of guilt
cyclic awareness precedes
M.L.
blustery evening
Leaves roll across the street
crinkling underfoot
R.S.
dark wombs conceal life
nurture future energy
Who will rule the world?
stories yet to be written
light sky’s imagination
M.L.
beneath starry skies
darkness punctuated by
glowing candelabras
R.S.
interactive books
shaping options from wet clay
each button transforms
raw imminent potential
new planets in the making
M.L.
gay laughter fades
a glowing moon rises
…whispering fog

I’m struck by how your tankas pulse with creation, Reena — “raw imminent potential” feels alive with mystery. 🌘

I like your blending of an inner world with the outer world. Very creative use of the prompt haiku. I especially love your third stanza.
