Drawl

drawl slow, easy, breathy, like butterscotch in the sun. flows across the air clings languidly to the ear. throaty whispers rise like scent.

Hi Patricia: Beautiful tanka! Especially the butterscotch in the sun.

Boy, this one is wreaking havoc with my caffeine-fueled morning brain! ;-) Maybe I should have let that coffee languish in the cup a little longer. Sorry, sillies have kicked in. I shall never hear another drawl without it sticking to my disgustingly deaf ears. Somewhere in this mass of words is "I enjoyed this 'un!" ~ j

Oh, I like this one a lot! A well-crafted tanka! First poem to read this morning and what a delight it was also I might add
