Ryan Gayagay Poet Tanka

A Fine April Day

A fine April day--
People having so much fun
Resting on the beach.
Instantly a tsunami:
Laughter vanished suddenly.

Anne-Lise Andresen April 9, 2023 at 12:09 PM - A wonderful time in Norway ... the snow melts and new life begins ... April is early spring ... Congratulations, Ryan :) - Ryan Gayagay April 9, 2023 at 3:40 PM Wow, it must be a beautiful time of the year there. In the Philippines, April is one of the hottest months. Students are on vacation and people go to the beach. Thanks, dear Friend.
