Cinnamon flavored,
hot without added sugar
golden sips of joy.
Softly the waiter whispers:
Would you like cinnamon rolls?

** Tanka is a poetry form which originated in Japan more than 13 centuries ago. In its purest form, tanka poems are most commonly written as expressions of gratitude, love, or self-reflection. There are five syllables (onji) in the first line, seven in the second, five in the third, and seven in lines four and five (5/7/5/7/7). The last two lines express a profound transcendental meaning that prompts reflection.
