Flashback December: Haiku and Tanka

[meridian_rose]

For this month I'm featuring some older works newcomers haven't seen and others might not remember. I'd love to see others share their past work; there's nothing wrong with celebrating earlier creations any more than there is re-reading a favourite book or re-watching a film!

This week I'm featuring 1 haiku, Traditions, and 1 Tanka, Affection


Traditions

Things oft repeated
Become imbued with meaning
Beyond their intent


Affection

Affection can be
demonstrated by such small
actions as putting
aside for a loved one their
favourite kind of cupcake

Both of these are good. I particularly loved Traditions the last line packs quite the punch. Thanks for sharing!
