 hov’ring shroud of clouds
only God can prune a storm
         levitate vortex
   angels release petrichor
hanging sheets…mothballing hail

Angels release petrichor! Love that line, so beautifully woven tanka it is. Well delivered. Only God can prune a storm i agree, so powerful yet delicately articulated. Pleasure reading this tender truthful tanka. Congratulations on receiving potd! Well deserved
