Zen Cool (Tanka) Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

Zen Cool (Tanka)



on fifth avenue
amidst a slew of people
a buddhist monk smiles
is this journey for real
or is it an illusion?

this imagery is truly special, you gave juxtaposed a busy avenue with a peaceful monk. Last two line made me think, Well dine.
