Sara Kendrick Poet Tanka

Notes About The Poem

almost

an almost autumn
scene unfolds outside window....
purple flowers bloom
yellow butterflies flit fast
mexican petunias wave   

occasionally birds
come into view and hummers....
brown rabbit nibbles plants
a break in the fence somewhere
small animals enter there

summer swiftly flies
soon cooler nights, drier air....
hummers migrate south
mexican petunias die
birds at feeders seen outside

James Peranteau August 27, 2025 at 12:30 PM the irony dear poet, I stumbling cross your beautiful write here; I just finished a video on edible plants and roots in the wild...exspecially around me ")...ty....much love Sara Kendrick August 27, 2025 at 2:42 PM James, some plants are edible, some taste good, but some are very dangerous. Some are medicinal in nature and have to be used carefully. Study them, compare two that look alike and be very watchful. I have studied them some, but I would not feel comfortable actually using them because I might have made a mistake in their identity. Thanks for the visit and nice review. Sara K
