Early morning mourns
the disappearing moonlight
thirsty calves lowing,
from up on high the robin
accepts the thrush’s challenge

outlines etched in burning gold

Bone of contention
Each yellow outstretched
finger, reaching for the sun
in adoration,
loved by bees, hated by man
they brighten any canvas

Spring equinox
In celebration
they parade with arms entwined
heads bowed to the ground
each silent bloom in splendour
celebrating the new dawn

Colleen’s Weekly Poetry Challenge No. 76 #Tanka, Joy/Fury (synonymsonly) The power and the glory
See the elation
in outstretched foaming fingers
reaching for the shore
ire of the wind blown torrent
vented on unbending stone

Leaf canopy.
Winter,
the urge to bloom,
in cold restraint until
the Spring, when in verdant glory,
released

A cool mountain stream
inviting as it passes
over smooth pebbles
can invigorate my mind
and when brave, bare toes fragrant

Colleen’s #weekly poetry challenge #73 #Tanka
Perpetual scenes
The trail is buried
beneath the iron hard snow
through the pine forest
with stamina and instinct
the herd will make their way home
Filed under nature inspired, Tanka
homage to denizens of the dark
spirit of the night
sunspended on the dark skies’
invisible strands
though remembered for wisdom
it cannot dim your beauty
