This tanka, Spring, has the proper formatting and widens the power of the presentation of bright flowers to the entire view of the world and with broadens the impact on all.

    Thanks Roy. Had a hard time getting reviews on this one. I think people took offense. Live and learn. So I really appreciate your kind words and encouragement.

A charming, well written in the Tanka form.

'ever timely birth
bouquets heal the deepest hurt
of a breaking heart
with no judgement I prefer
mine unpredictably wild'

Beautiful words. Good luck in the contest x

That is fantastic and a different approach to spring. I particularly like the use of 'no judgement' before breaking the news you prefer free range to battery flowers (so to speak).
