I believe the type of poem I've written is a Tanka. Since 'Tanka' wasn't listed in

your comments made me smile....Ann inspired this...I thought of her dancing and thought of the leaves. Thanks for your visit, your poet friend down the hall

Strange I've been dreaming of a figure skater and out you come with this dancing professional. So sweetly written. Blessings.

This left my heart full! And beaming! Ah! Such magical imagery! To see whirling leaves as ballerinas! Ah thats new for me! I havent read that anywhere! So beautiful and artistic how your mind works and express! Absolutely stunning! I love the colors and the flow of this. “ mother nature in toe shoes” beautiful! It does seem like a tanka! Pleasure reading this

Thanks, 'Ink,' for stopping my. Your comments filled my heart with joy. They are as exquisite as are your poems. I'm grateful you found my imagery stunning. I have an aunt who was a prima ballerina so I sometimes think how would she see things...hence this Tanka. Thanks for reassuring me that its a Tanka. Enjoy your day, Sara

Lovely! For sure, Mother Nature is a classical dancer. "yellow orange brown spinning and twirling en pointe" -- great imagery. Blessings.

I love the seed that spins to the ground. I think it evidence that there is a God.

I agree. Evidence of God is everywhere...I just have to pause to make myself aware of His glorious presence. Have a blessed day, Sara
