Cleaning the Spring

cleaning the spring
of decaying leaves and branches
clean when you see
blue skies and salamanders
near the bubbling vents

BTW, I usually do not write tanka with the familiar 5-7-5-7-7 syllables. I do retain the short-long-short-long-long structure, as is the way mostly written now which allows more flexability!

Andrea, thanks so much for reading and commenting on many of my poems!! Puzzlement? Sometimes the Reply link appears, other times not. Any suggestions?
