perfumed spring-forest
sunbathing delightfully
babbling brooks join in
nature’s joyful symphony
directed by the divine

oh, thank you, dearest grannyeri, for your love for flowers. this is a flower which is growing in my garden. it is called "scille du perou" (in french at least). I love this flowers, well I love all flowers ...
I hope, you are well, and are enjoying ayizan's class as much as I do ...
big hug to you,

Loved this photo you took - wonderful and clear. The tanka that goes with it is exquisite too. They go together so well.

dear skinwalker,
I am very grateful for your words of appreciation for my very first tanka and for the precious advice concerning the commas ... I actually like it much better without any punctuation, and will even modify some of my other poems. thank you so much.
