Of all the tanka I have read recently (over 200), I think the following is the most beautiful. It uses so few words to say so much, and the effect is quite powerful. Once the implications sink in, they hit me like a bunch of bricks.
A day will come
when my eyes
no longer see.
To me my husband whispers,
"It will be alright."
