April is thirty and fierce as Niagara she wets our pallet for spring fling with nature she shows us, we are one. * (Written for Andrea Dietrich Tanka poem contest, April 16th deadline)

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Iris, this was a cute one. Like I am saying to many other poets, I hope you will try to use lines not capitalized if you pursue the writing of modern tanka. Congrats in my contest and thanks for entering.

Thank you, I've made corrections, but you've changed... I suppose non caps of each line for future poetry should also apply, thanks for that...
