Tanka
A bright burning flame
glows through the darkness
and melts the icy cold
of the Winter's Night.

ROME
Rome, mighty and at the
height of its power,
ruling the whole world
but now...
Time has seeped into
the cracks and crevices of
the once mighty Rome
breaking it's walls
and leaving it crumbling in the dust.
