Mighty Sunflowers, Harvesting

growth, nature, rain, seasons, summer, word play,

MIGHTY SUNFLOWERS © TANKA

Sunflowers in fields 
Bowing to the rising sun
Turning faced upwards
Withholding their mighty stocks
As all roots knit asunder!

growth, nature, rain, seasons, summer, word play,
 
HARVESTING © TANKA

Rain drops call from clouds
Wet the now blackening soil
New roots drink thirstily
Crops now grow from planted seedlings
Harvest 'feed' aplenty!

Paul Callus Date: 6/2/2015 9:07:00 AM Hi Diane! Both tankas are lovely and are based on imagery. If I were to chose between the two, I'll go for the first one....sunflowers ... they remind me of Tuscany and Van Gogh! All the best. // paul Login to Reply Diane M Quinlan Date: 6/2/2015 10:07:00 AM Do you know Van Gogh is my favourite painter. Being a dabbler with paints my sunflowers are a great joy to paint. Thank you for liking my imagery. Love playing with words while prosing in the Easter style of poetry. Very challenging---clears the mind and very rewarding when other poets, like yourself....read and enjoy them. I am glad I shared these as I am always glad to read your also---imagery poems!.......didee

A 7 Login to Reply Diane M Quinlan Date: 5/31/2015 8:05:00 PM You are so generous to me today. Thank you and thank you. Sunflowers are a favourite flower that I like to paint as well. When young and coming upon an autumn seeded flower. I used to reach up high and as with daisy petals----play loves me not! So glad you enjoyed and I hope it brought back some childhood memories for you also! Blessed blessings....didee
