This is a collection of mostly romantic poetry in the Tanka style. Presented in the order in which they were written, they are snapshots of scenes from my life, of moments in time, of emotions, and impressions that struck me as worth recording. My definition of romantic is fairly broad, and I believe that today's "romance" is mostly simple, coarse lust and sex.

Tanka is the last surviving genre of classical Japanese poetry. The tanka is meant to describe a moment, an emotion, an image with such clarity that you feel as if you are in the moment. I present my moments to you in the hope that you experience them as I did, that you will see what I saw, and feel what I felt.
