Hints of Lavender

Her scent sends me wild With a hint of lavender Wafting from her hair I am no longer myself When she walks into the room Line 4 is 7 syllables but not according to the syllable counter. 20~June~2017 For Tanka contest Sponsored by: Laura Loo

Very expressive Tanka, WW. She brings out the Wolf in you, eh. Fine write, and very sensual. Love always.

those syllable counters are SO crazy. For sure, that line is correct and also the entire poem is wonderfully romantic.

Beautiful, soft, fragrant and so very lovely. This is "sigh" poem if I ever read one.
