Tanka



                                   mowed hay
                                   left to dry in the fields
                                   from green to golden
                                   from thin yielding blades
                                   to tightly rolled bales

Hi Adelaide: A lovely flow to your poem – a season in miniature! Your photo compliments the poem well.

Adelaide said...

Thank you, Frank. Up here, you know autumn is on the way when the hay is cut and left to dry.

Really like your tanka, plus the photo (have been intending to take photos of some round bales around here too). Like the progression and layers of meaning.

Thank you Janet. I've taken several pictures, a few each year.
Glad you stopped by.

I messed up posting yesterday; so today I removed a duplicate post of mine. I'll stop by again later to read more of your work!
