Jimmy Anderson Poet Tanka

Loyalties

Carolina blue
directs singing bluebell choir
bringing crescendo
orchestrated with gold leaves
grown in field with blueberries

golden rod stands firm
long stems waving in the wind
giving allegiance
to the Carolina blue
blueberries march in review

For Rick Parise's "Blue and Gold" contest
