A Sunflower Tanka 🌻 but of course!

this tanka is good
even inspired, I’m thinking
it’s a lovely day
let’s open the double doors
and walk out to the garden

the fragrance is sweet
there’s a second flush of toms
basil, rosemary, dill
I have my watering can
to hand, I potter around

summer is waning
yet flowers are still thriving
roses are glorious
as I continue to walk
and there they are… sunflowers
