Notes About The Poem

- Bicycle Tour -


                              whizzing through the grass

                            with sun and wind in her hair -

                                         unique vehicle

                              world's rivers are drying up

                              watermelon quenches thirst

Great contest entry, the picture is so inviting and the first three lines tell the story. The last two lines of your Tanka offer a problem and a solution. Both facts. I enjoyed your Tanka. Anne-Lise. Thanks for sharing, Bill
