[Tanka#5]

Postby ShelleyA » Sat Jul 02, 2016 11:58 am

hummingbird in flight,
a beautiful sight to see—
flitting here and there
wild flowers are everywhere
adorning this summer morn.



*Form: Tanka
please see how to write a Tanka poem in the "How to" sections under "How to understand poetic forms"
