Mountain Stream (Tanka)

Rain suddenly stops
Full rainbow crosses the stream
Forest wakes with life
Rainbow trout suddenly leaps
Nature’s harmony abounds

This is wonderful. It is the kind of picture America should be experiencing. Unfortunately, some places are being flooded. I will say a prayer for them. This picture is relaxing. Great job! ~Joseph

Love the scene you paint with your words in this one. There has always been a sense of peace for me when I get by the water. This poem captured that feeling. The last line closes the poem well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and for your ongoing encouragement of my writing. Blessings to you. Karen
