Jasmine or Flakes Poetry Contest
Sponsored by: Ink Empress
3rd place in the contest

 

The landscape of snow Tiny buds, the winter through Spring, still far away Winter Jasmine buds yellow, bended bows on the branches The dance that returns in a scented yellow ring Spring fairies calling Beauty will ascend the throne Carved from a single ice cube

This is an excellent poem on winter jasmine. I know a little about it. Not so popular in Malta. Best for a win. You deserve it.

Winter beauty certainly boldly showing in this awesome Tanka. Yes Spring fairies will start calling but I presume they dress a whole lot warmer in Norway. We hardly had Winter last year, in fact some of our summer plants mistakenly thought Spring was creeping up rather rapidly so they started peeping out their pretty little heads. A breathtaking write dear friend, good luck in the contest. Hugs, blessings Jennifer.

Lovely tanka and a beautiful image to go with it. You seem to enjoy winter. We have the idea of winter only through what we read and what we see through the images. No actual experience. I have seen all the other seasons. All the best dear Anne. Love and hugs.
