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?
