March saunters along
violets welcome on lawn
gentle rains falling
short sleeve weather once again
thoughts of picnics in the park

Andrea Dietrich April 8, 2022 at 9:21 PM I love your tanka. Surprised it is not in top placements. L Milton Hankins April 8, 2022 at 9:46 PM Thanks so much, Andrea. I'm not doing too well in contests these days. I don't know why. Some of it is pretty good, and I think I should be placing higher.
