Natures Umbrella

a weeping willow

    never really shedding tears

      nature's umbrella

        branches trailing to the ground

          green leaves sparkling in the wind

A beautiful tanka. Given that winter is on its way, this talks to me of summer... Jack

Hello Jack, Thank you for visiting me! So sweet are your words. Our trees here are just now starting to lose their leaves. We have over 50 and they are so beautiful I felt inspired. Lov, Shar
