Hi Sara. Nature's touch is not gentle here this morning. Thunderstorms, which I love, but tornado watch, too. Love your Tanka and your picture. Makes me wanna swim, but not in the Gulf!

thanks for visiting, Lin, and for your lovely comments. Wasn't too gentle here overnight...hail and thunderstorms and tornado threats. I much prefer a gentler spring! :-) have a great evening, hugs, Sara

Dear Sara, such a beautiful tanka poem that captures the serene and timeless essence of nature, particularly focusing on the tranquil flow of silent streams. This poem highlights the peaceful and graceful qualities found in the simplicity of nature, emphasizing its beauty and tranquility. The imagery of "whispering secrets softly" suggests a sense of closeness and intrigue, while "nature's gentlest touch" conveys the tender and nurturing nature of the natural world.
