Gert W. Knop Poet Tanka

Late Spring Explosion / Spätes Frühlingserwachen

Late spring explosion
New shoots on barren trees
Birds' famous concert

Botanical fantasies in front gardens
The scence of nectar and dew

-----------------------------------------

Spätes Frühlingserwachen
Frische Knospen an kahlen Ästen
Herrliches Vogelkonzert

Botanische Fantasien in Vorgärten
Der Geruch nach Nektar und Tau
