Golden Ginko

The Ginko's golden leaves rustle
Tickled by easterly bustle
Flounce upon the straight limbs
So like a flirty lady dressed
In her long golden gown her best
Permanence or fun her whims

An amazing write with fantastic imagery. Portrays a vivid picture of Chinese Ginkgo or Gingko tree with fan shaped deciduous leaves. Must win in the contest. Thanks for visiting my Tanka Naive Heart and your educative comments as always. I sometimes read them many times to reach their depth. This is why I wanted you to read my book and favour me with your views. I have an appointment with the Ambassador of Pakistan this Monday during which I'll present a copy of my book whatever be its worth.

Sara, there was a huge Ginko in the neighborhood I used to live in and the limbs were exactly the way you describe them. I never thought of it that way until now. Thanks for the insight.
