Blue

delicate flowers
a blue of morning glory
twining vines with grace
my old wooden spindle fence
has no power against winds

Thank you for the placement in your contest. I'm happy you liked it well enough. I've only written one Tanka before so I'm not sure if I wrote it correctly. Thank you for your lovely comment you left on Blue. Warm Smiles, Connie
