Daver Austin Poet Tanka

Impatience

IMPATIENCE

it’s spring      gloomy day
and i watch from the window
strange quiets and excitements
hang in the humidity
like ghostly, long caged voices

the green explosion
has destroyed winter’s hold,
silenced the screaming,
and impatient nature
awaits a late burst of sun

Michelle Mac Donald June 7, 2014 at 2:45 PM Hey Daver!! "Impatience" by ourselves, but nature seems to take it all in stride. I'm happy your cats got their fiddles.:) Sunny here though breezy (thank goodness). Hope all's well with you all, Daver! Love, Mikki

Carolyn Devonshire May 17, 2014 at 2:57 PM Dear Daver, How glad you must be that "winter's hold" has left now. Beautifully written tanka. I guess I would be impatient for a "burst of sun" if I lived in Michigan too. LOL Now I pray for rain. Love, Carolyn

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2014 at 11:33 PM this is SO cool, daver. love the words: green explosion and "long caged voices" As for Guy Loranger, he did try to locate me by phone a few years after I lost him. But I was a new mother by then. . . . Daver Austin May 18, 2014 at 10:51 AM Guy's loss for sure. Love daver
