Sere winter blushes
Ancient wood wears fairytales
Springs lightly to life
Hope renewed as dark days pass
Buried in confetti clouds
Colleen’s tanka challenge
Press a button or two to share... go on, make my day :)

Sue, I love your use of the word ‘sere.’ I looked it up and love how the choice of just that one word changed the meaning of your Tanka. Your photos emphasize the imagery in my mind. Excellent. ❤

Confetti clouds! Fabulous and gorgeous. We are frozen in early spring with temps in the 30s. The upside is that the cherry blossoms haven’t dropped!

Simply lovely poem. Did you take the photos or find them? It is obviously Spring somewhere! In spite of all our rain and cloudy skies lately, St. Patrick’s Day, today, is demonstrating spring in Texas.
