Gripping Roots, Coats of Snow , the God Phoenix Rises

flower, god, rain, spring, winter, dance, birth, sunshine,

GRIPPING ROOTS © TANKA
 
Birds chirp spring’s sunshine
Rain showers the ground outdoors
Plants begin to grow
Gripping roots draw nourishment
Mother Nature's weathered gifts!



Coats Of Snow © Tanka

Pure white coats stockpile
And cold shouts a freeze
Daylights sunshine glare
Early moonbeam blights a kissing
And dance the night time sky!





THE GOD PHOENIX RISES!  © Tanka

In Arabian ash 
Half a centuries' time
Beauteous ‘Phoenix’ ashes lay
For five hundred years 
Ageing in Arabian soil 
Will rise awake sentence-free!

Diane M Quinlan May 31, 2015 at 7:58 PM Thank you for reading my 3 Tanka word/works today. You must have really enjoyed reading them as you gifted me a high 7---I definitely feel very surprised and happy about this. Tanka are so much fun and do help the brain recharge itself when meeting the challenge set by Eastern Poetry. When it works it works---when it doesn't...it sure does go wrongly!!!! Many blessings to you.....didee
