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
🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Glad that you like that, Sadje. Such a lovely photo with all those sunflowers… and my poem was almost completely true (minus the sunflowers though). 😂

A beautiful and delightful poem, dear Chris, although it evokes feelings of envy, as we have been deprived of sunshine here for an extended period. 😅🥰💖🌞

“summer is waning”–in our case, winter is. It can’t happen soon enough!

Very nice tribute to summers’ coming to an end. We’re in the midst of a snowstorm.
