Laud the dawn chorus–
robin, cardinal, and wren
trill night into day
light streaming golden and pink
as cherry blossoms in spring

All the birds sing when it is spring!! Nice!
Thank you, Dwight! 🙂
Merril, I love this Tanka poem. It has great rhythm and flow. I can see your words. “…Light streaming golden and pink like the cherry blossoms…” This imagery is breathtaking. ❤
Thank you so much, Colleen! 🙂
A happy one, Merril
Yes. Thank you, Derrick.
