- Snow Falling -

                                   spell has bound the earth
                                   goose down is flying in air
                                        in rhythmic motion
                                    as dancers in a ballroom
                                    icy wind is sweeping by

You know you are my favourite for sure. I think you are an unbelievable poetess. This tanka is stunning, when you mix the nature of goose and dancers, that touches my heart.

I can see the swirl of the ballroom wind dancers, waltzing round. A wonderful spectacle. What a lovely poem.

This is a great Tanka dear Anne- Lise. The opening line draws you in immediately- ‘ spell has bound the earth’- love that! Your artistic choice of visual words are so well chosen. You skilfully paint such a vivid scene with the words. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your talent. Hugs and smiles to you :):)
