Sounds like a beautiful spring day. I can just hear the birds chirping. I liked your tanka poem. It was refreshing in the chosen words used. I liked it.

It's so beautiful to see a rebirth every year as the snow melts and the trees and grass and flowers come back to life! You've expressed that so well with your very lovely poem! Beautifully written, well done!

Each one of these could stand alone. They are all perfect examples of tankas. Good use of personification in the first two stanza.

These stanzas give strong images of the flowers that bloom to tell us Spring has sprung. You use some good personification. You include sound with the birds and the children playing.

Good luck in the contest.

Keep writing

Ah, yes, Debbie. So calming your poem, so refreshing, so hopeful. Your choice of flowers delightful, but I found the last tanka especially enjoyable since you play the children's innocence and joy off the floating butterfly.

Good luck on the contest. This should be a contender.

Great poem about the beauty every day holds if we will just open our eyes and see it. The doctors tell me I don't have much time left. I try to concentrate on beauty.
