New Day

Up before the sun, Watching the black sky lighten. Violet and grey. The birds are awakening, So let this new day begin.

Tanka poems are not easy to write because of their limitations. However, you have performed admirably with this one.

Francine that sounds nice and I would gladly wake up to that then our snow. Our highways are closed today and they are asking us not to travel. I will stay home today and hope the roads get better. God Bless Phyl
