After Spring's Deluge

After spring’s deluge,

dawn rains down with brilliance as

the meadowlark trills.

Long ribbons of pastel hues

form an arc across blue sky.

Spring rain, songs of birds, rainbows and blue skies all illuminated in the five lines of a tanka Andrea. What a beautiful watercolor painting of spring! Congratulations and high fives for your win!

Your Tanka makes me even more ready for real spring weather. It's late here in Texas. :-( Thanks for sharing, Bill

Very descriptive and expressive one for the contest. I don't think I have ever heard a meadow lark's call. I have seen one or two years ago. Your visit to my page was delightful. Sara
