Time moves forward, the past remains alive – a meditative reflection.

Regensburg, a city in Bavaria, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is celebrated as the best preserved medieval city in Germany.

Poetic Form: Tanka, a Japanese verse written in 5 lines with a 5-7-5-7-7 (31 syllable) pattern. This poem, which weaves historical imagery and romanticized art and punctuation, is a modern tanka.

April Poetry Writing Month – Day 9

Poetry Prompt: Harmony of Birds
