Notes About The Poem

A tanka inspired by a picture.

Fate

The soft zephyr hums the carefree spirit of youth. A calf ruminates under the sun's gentle rays. Tomorrow, the slaughterhouse.

Brilliant how you always weave such deep and meaningful poems in just few syllables. I especially love your first line “ the sweet zephyr hums” and also the last line hits strong: love the imagery too. Pleasure reading this. Wishing you a blessed year ahead too
