Notes About The Poem

Image result for pictures of hybrid poplar in fall in misty rain Written: 09/10/2026

Collum Lune word count of 3/5/3 applied to a tanka so 3/5/3/5/5

hybrid

as hybrid poplar
slowly begins to turn gold....
low gray cloud
rain down sprinkles dampening me
all surroundings relish the moisture

This is very nice. I have this pink cherry willow that has changed into something else. It started getting white blossoms instead of just pink and now it's completely white. Is it hybrid?

Now hybrids are available for all types of plants and trees. Their miniature forms are so attractive. In autumn, when poplar turns gold, a slight drizzle is so very cooling. Great tanka

I appreciate the time spent here and the uplifting review. That particular has been in this yard for 66 years as far as I know and it could have been here longer. My grandson counted the rings of the oak that was cut down due to having to get a new roof and it was hanging over the roof, and it had 99 rings so the poplar could be that old. I have so many poplar baby plants to come up every year so it has it draw backs, but I guess someone could pot them up and give them away or sell them. Your visit is appreciated. Sara K. 👍⭐

What a lovely image, Sara -- both of the poplar individually and combined with the other elements of nature. ~ Gershon

The imagery of nature transitioning with the seasons is vividly painted here. The changing poplar and gentle rain evoke a sense of calm and appreciation for the environment's. A serene reflection on the beauty around us.

Sharma, your review is delightful. It is somewhat dry here, so the leaves are quite dry, so when they fall they almost immediately turn brown. There quite a few left to turn so maybe the color will be better if we get some rain. 👍⭐. Sara K.
