Orange

this Sunday meadow

      airbrushed in Renoir orange

welcomes first autumn

      through glide of marmalade leaves

          ...cuddling Sabbath’s peace

Much more "orangier" than my attempt... the marmalade leaves description was my favorite... most creative!

Hi Sweet Nette, :-) I'm taking this moment to wish you an early Happy Mother's day. Just in case, I can't hang around the soup past Saturday Night. May you enjoy all the blessings a mother engraves in our hearts. About your poem: it is a very nice colorful image for a tanka..xox~ Linda
