There are 2 original tanka, but
just one is fine.

I will update the article as they come in.

This time,"Secret Tsukiku (Added Phrases)"I chose the original tanka
from the works submitted
to that project.

Taking the upper phrase that I didn't write myself,
I expanded it into a tanka with an added phrase.

I was very excited to see
ten different tanka from the same upper phrase.

I struggled with which one to choose as the original tanka,

whether to go straight,
or to go for something interesting.

Original Tanka ① is
Spring darkness, my mental state is silken tofu,
it requires a delicate touch to handle.

Original Tanka ② is
"Goodbye," your broad back as you said it,
the words I swallow, suddenly distant thunder.

Now, please enjoy the reply tanka✨

Original Tanka ①

It has no quirks and is gentle to everyone,
without erasing its presence,
Madoka Sasara

Summer sky, I will make my dream come true,
Häagen-Dazs all to myself,
even as a mother.

On the back of page 12 of the instruction manual,
I'll write that trick so it can't be seen,
Shirokuma Kirin

Hey, my mental state is like silken tofu
Planning to become firm tofu tomorrow

Softly, reaching the places that itch
Tailored to your specific quirks

Leave it to me! I'll be just fine
I want to protect you gently

I try touching the fine-grained and smooth
As if to confirm your heart
With Spring~🌸

Hiding a voice in a heart of thunder and silence
My beloved, move forward through the darkness

I'll tell you, and only you, in secret
The truth is, I'm a bit lonely

It's hot, but let's wrap you in bubble wrap
I'll stick a label on too: Handle with care

Maybe the only one who can handle
A troublesome person like me is you, who treats me roughly

Escaping on a summer night by renting manga
Anything is fine, playing the lead role

I'll scoop you up gently with both hands
Let's run together through the heart of summer

Keep the tips cold as they are
Just pour soy sauce and bonito flakes, don't worry

Your hands are a little cold, may I come
close enough to reach them?

I know, you are the most wonderful in the world
I will wrap you up before you break

To protect you, glossy like silk
I simmer you to the golden ratio

Please enjoy the silken tofu ankake udon
Your favorite dish, for all your hard work

A kindness that never hurts anyone
is your strength, I know it

Silken tofu placed on the tofu maker's hand
Water dripping, handled with ease

Transform into anything, silken tofu
As for me, I am an Ittan-momen

If you are a tasteless, odorless, people-pleaser
I'll have to handle you a bit firmly

tacked in the corner of the room

Even if you break, I will scoop up every last bit
I want to collide with your heart

Like scooping spring water with a cooling gem
I will keep cherishing you.

Original Poem 2

Stained by others and cast aside, in vain
The distant thunder rolls, its destination unknown
Madoka Sasara

Swallowing the words I wanted to say to your back
May the next love be the final one
Even So, A Mother

Lightning flashes, falls, and shatters
To you who sings of giving romance
Shirokuma Kirin

A song that says goodbye is not really goodbye
I wonder when that song was from
Noriko Tonomura

The thunder turns into wordless lingering attachment
Is it a passing rain, or a coming cry?
Nei

I can no longer keep you bound to me
Let the sound of distant thunder be your farewell gift
Miyu

In the cloudy sky, it began to rain drop by drop
Hydrangea flowers wet in the rain
With Spring~🌸

Before your breath, unable to swallow the goodbye,
Drifts away as lingering attachment
Chiyo Ohashi

Startled by the thunder, we huddle together again
Since we're at it, shall we continue?
Tomone

Hesitantly, I gently bring my lips close
To the wet skin, ponzu and ginger
Aricchi

Distant thunder awakens memories of that day
A broad back, and words left unsaid
Fu.

Hearing the thunder from afar, I remember
Lemon squash, summer has come again
Noncha

The louder the thunder roars, the more I realize
I couldn't swallow the words 'I love you'
rira

Distant thunder, there is no future, this is fine
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
Ricotto

The sound of distant thunder awakens
Memories are still faintly colored even now
Shien Satake

Cry, says the mother-colored thundercloud
In the downpour, your back fades away
moe

What the thundercloud took away was my left side
The cleared view and my bluffing self
Haruka Yunagi

You are not where the lightning struck
Wishing you happiness from afar
Suko

You, whom I saw in the passing rain, were dazzling
Say goodbye to my hunched back
Soup

If it rumbles, will you hear the distant thunder too?
A "goodbye" that is starting to fade
Tsuru

"Cut!" finished filming the rain scene
The crank-up rushes toward summer
Sen-sing

I'm sorry for making you feel hurt.
But I can't lie to myself anymore
Temari

"You fool!" Even a thunderous old man is a parent
"There are meetings as well as partings!"
Misty

From love to affection
I am also under the same cross-seasonal sky
Chipiro
