Tanka

Two tiny parrots fluttering in this big cage wonder what spring is: trees with blossoming branches, where other birds build their nests? Nature declares spring with its harmonious sounds; above a blue sky, below meadows with blue-bells: isn't it time I set them free?

Dear Andrew, It's so nice to read your work again! Like you, I hate to keep animals inside if it is safe for them to enjoy the outdoors. However, if these parrots were raised indoors, they could fall prey to predators outside. Love the imagery and the way "Nature declares spring." Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
