mist by the water
inside soft arch
walled in by fog
I own all the air
I can see

Nice. Last two lines remind me of Niedecker’s “I carry my clarity with me” — and there’s a break in that line somewhere, I forget where, too lazy to look.
Cool. Thanks.
cool. shall mention to charles that his photo inspired a poem 🙂
i like the lines “i own all the air/ i can see”

Very atmospheric. I’m right there.
Tanka Tinkerer, eh?
I’ve had good and bad luck with the tanka.
I should study the ‘amount of subject matter’ more.
This one is only a little more scene contents than
a haiku, and uses the English very smoothly due
to the limits of info. There are full prose
connectives here. The feel is very serene.
